Tips for the maintenance of your leather cord necklace
If treated well, your leather cord necklace will last a long time. Most of the more expensive types of leather collars are untreated, which means they will age gracefully. They will also have the character of an expensive leather necklace that is unique and distinctive. Here are some tips on how to maintain your leather collar.
– Store your necklace in a dust bag case. Do not keep it with other jewelry items, especially those made of metals. You should also not use a plastic bag to store your leather jewelry.
– If the weather is bad and you have to go outdoors, do not wear the necklace. Exposure to water or rain is not good for leather jewelry.
– Always wear your necklace after you have applied your makeup and perfume.
– Handle your necklace with clean hands.
– If your leather collar is expensive, it is worth buying a quality leather protectant spray.
– This will prevent the leather from cracking or drying out. It will also prevent the leather from staining.
– Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt from the collar.
– Do not use a cleaner that contains oils as oils can trap dirt and moisture and stain leather.
– If your necklace is stained, for example by coming into contact with cosmetics, hairspray or fragrances, consider having it cleaned by a professional cleaner.
– To keep your necklace looking its best, take it off when you go swimming or take a bath.
– Remove the collar when doing strenuous activities because leather tends to absorb perspiration and when it does, it will quickly lose its natural beauty.
– Avoid contact with any kind of liquids, aerosols, chemical baths because they can discolor and even damage the leather.
– Use soft flannel bags to store your leather necklace.
To slow down the degradation process, it is advisable to store the leather necklace in an airtight container to protect it from moisture. Although necklaces made of leather cord appear to be very difficult to maintain at first glance, they can actually be maintained for several years without scratches or damage, and this can be achieved with proper care and attention.
