Is the Jewelry Waterproof?
No, our jewelry is not entirely waterproof. While Love Catcher pieces are crafted to handle occasional, accidental contact with water, they are not designed for prolonged exposure. Keepsakes that incorporate custom materials like breast milk, ashes, or hair require a bit of caution around water.
Over time, moisture can compromise the protective seals and materials, affecting the jewelry's appearance and longevity. To preserve the beauty of your piece, we strongly recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in heavy exercise.
Can I wear my jewelry in the shower or bath?
We advise against wearing your Love Catcher jewelry while showering or bathing. Regular exposure to running water, combined with the chemical ingredients found in soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, can break down the protective finishes and dull the brilliance of your personalized keepsake.
What should I do if my jewelry accidentally gets wet?
If your piece happens to splash into water, don't panic. Gently pat it dry as soon as possible using a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth. Avoid using high heat, such as a hair dryer, to dry the piece, as extreme temperatures can damage the custom resin or setting.
Is it safe to wear my keepsake while swimming?
No, you should always remove your jewelry before swimming. Both the chlorine found in swimming pools and the salt in ocean water are highly corrosive. These elements can damage the metal settings and permanently alter the delicate custom materials embedded within your piece.
How does moisture affect custom materials like breast milk or ashes?
Custom materials are carefully preserved and sealed within the jewelry. However, prolonged or repeated exposure to moisture can seep into the micro-crevices of the setting. This can cause the custom elements to discolor, tarnish, or degrade over time.
