How to care for your handcrafted wood and pearl necklace?
Caring for your necklace the way you care for yourself
Rest assured, ladies, caring for a wooden and gemstone necklace requires very little time! It is much more than just a piece of jewelry. It carries within it the memory of the carved wood, the energy of the stones that compose it, and the intention of the artisan who crafted it. Like our own bodies, It evolves over time, it breathes, it absorbs the elements and movements of life. To preserve its beauty and strength, it requires special attention.

Wood softens and develops a patina when touched by the skin, but can also dry out if left untreated. Pearls, whether mineral or organic, absorb light and the environment, and deserve to be protected from external aggression. Caring for your necklace is not just about extending its life, it's also about respecting the material, honoring what is natural and allow it to flourish over time.
With a few simple gestures, you can accompany your jewel on its journey, giving it what it needs to endure the years with elegance and authenticity.

The Padouk wood is an exotic species renowned for its sturdiness, durability and an orange-red hue that changes over time. It has one notable feature: it sweat under the influence of heat and humidity. This "transpiration" corresponds to the exudation of natural resins contained in the wood.
Special features of Padouk wood
Why does Padouk sweat?
- Padouk is rich in resins and natural oils, which protect it from external aggressions (insects, fungi, humidity).
- When wood is exposed to rising temperatures or humidity, these substances rise to the surface in the form of micro-exudations.
- This is particularly visible on smooth or varnished surfaces, where exudation sometimes creates a sticky film.
How to care for Padouk wood
- Cleaning Regular: Wipe the surface with a soft, clean cloth to remove excess resin.
- Use of a degreaser Gentle: diluted spirit or vinegar can help remove resin without damaging the wood.
- Oiling (optional): A specific oil for exotic woods can help stabilize the surface and reduce rising.
- Sanding Light sanding if necessary: If the exudation becomes too significant, light sanding with an abrasive sponge can help open the pores of the wood and limit the phenomenon.
