Frequently asked questions about product care

We want you to enjoy your Shipwrecks at Sea creations for a long time. Below, you'll find answers to common questions about caring for our handcrafted jewellery, framed pictures, and engraved slates. Our commitment to quality and integrity extends to helping you maintain these special items.

What simple things can I do to keep my jewellery and gifts looking their best?
To maintain the beauty of your items, please avoid wearing jewellery in the shower. For framed pictures, do not hang them over fireplaces or radiators as temperature fluctuations can cause damage. Ensure that only waterproof slates are placed in gardens.

Do your sea glass jewellery and framed pictures need different care instructions?
Yes, there are slight differences. The glass on our framed pictures can be cleaned normally, much like any other photo frame. However, for sea glass jewellery, only use a clean, dry cloth for cleaning.

Are there things I should definitely avoid doing to my items?
Yes, both sea glass and slate can break if dropped, so handle them with care. Avoid exposing your items to harsh chemicals or excessive water, especially for jewellery not designed to be waterproof.

What is the easiest way to clean an item if it gets dull or dusty?
For most of our handcrafted items, the easiest way to clean them is to gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. This will help remove dust and restore their natural luster without causing damage.
