Caring for your Polymer Jewelry: Apply skin and hair products before wearing your polymer jewelry. Treat your polymer jewelry as you would any fine jewelry, being careful not to scratch or mar the surface. If needed, you may clean polymer with mild soap and water, dry and buff with a soft cloth. Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
