Paper & Brass Care

Udiri’s signature paper beads and brass components are durable yet delicate. Treat them with mindfulness:

• Wipe gently with a dry, soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture.
• Avoid soaking paper beads in water. If they become dirty, dab with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
• For brass elements, use a gentle jewellery polishing cloth; skip harsh cleaners that can strip protective coatings.

Gemstone & Pearl Pieces

Pieces combining paper beads with natural gemstones or pearls require special handling:

• Do not submerge the entire piece in water. Instead, dip a cotton swab in mild dish soap and water, wipe the stone or pearl gently, then dry.
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steamers; they can damage both the paper and organic gems.
• Store gemstone jewellery separately in the provided burlap pouch to prevent scratches.

What to Avoid

To preserve the integrity of your jewellery, avoid exposing it to the following:

• Harsh chemicals and cleaning agents such as bleach, chlorine, alcohol, turpentine, acetone and ammonia — these can dull or pit metals and damage paper and stones.
• Tomato sauce, lemon juice or other acidic kitchen cleaners; although they may make metals shine temporarily, they strip protective coatings.
• Prolonged contact with lotions, perfumes, hairspray or chlorine water. Apply beauty products first and let them dry before wearing your pieces.

Storage & Wear

• Always store your Udiri pieces separately to prevent scratching. Use the burlap pouch provided or a lined jewellery box.
• Keep jewellery in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and tarnish.
• Remove jewellery before swimming, exercising, or sleeping to avoid unnecessary stress and moisture exposure.
