How to Care for Your Jewellery
Baltic Dew pieces are made from recycled skateboard decks — boards that have been used, skated, cracked, worn down or retired. Each deck comes with its own colour tones, marks and natural signs of use, and every piece reveals those details differently once the wood is reshaped.
To protect the wood and maintain its appearance, Baltic Dew products are finished using different finishes depending on the product type. Rings are sealed with a durable protective coating, while other products may be finished with skin safe oils or lacquer finishes. These finishes help protect the wood, enhance the colour tones and keep the surface comfortable to wear.
Below are straightforward recommendations to help keep your jewellery and accessories in good condition for as long as possible. Following these simple care instructions will help preserve the finish and appearance of your piece over time.
Rings
These pieces are the most durable in the collection. They are made from dense skateboard maple and sealed with a strong protective coating that helps keep the surface smooth and long-lasting. They handle everyday wear well, but like any handmade item, they benefit from a few simple habits.
Keep in mind:
• Avoid long exposure to water (showers, swimming, washing dishes).
• Keep away from hand sanitisers, perfumes and strong cleaning products.
• Remove the ring during activities involving impact, pressure or friction — lifting weights, using tools or machinery, DIY work, bike repairs or gardening.
• Store in a dry place, ideally in a small box or soft pouch, to help prevent scratches.
• If the surface ever looks tired, refresh the shine with a gentle polishing compound. T-Cut works well, but any polish suitable for glossy surfaces can be used.
Bracelets
These pieces are finished with hardwax oil, which protects the wood while maintaining a natural feel and appearance.
Care tips:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Avoid alcohol-based sprays, perfumes and harsh cleaning products.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth when needed.
• Store in a dry place when not in use.
Earrings and Pendants
Some older pieces are finished with oil, while newer pieces may be finished with lacquer. Both finishes help protect the wood and enhance the natural colour tones.
Care tips:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Avoid alcohol-based sprays, perfumes and harsh cleaning products.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth when needed.
• Store somewhere clean and dry when not in use.
• Avoid unnecessary impact or pressure that could damage the wood or findings.
Ear Tunnels and Plugs
These pieces are finished with a natural oil blend, making them suitable for stretched ears while maintaining the natural feel of the wood.
Important:
• Keep completely dry — avoid showering, swimming and sauna use.
• Do not use alcohol-based products or harsh soaps.
• Reapply a small amount of suitable oil if the wood begins to feel dry. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
• Store in a soft pouch or box to protect from dust and scratches.
Hair Forks and Other Accessories
These pieces are finished with lacquer to provide a durable protective surface.
Care tips:
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaning products.
• Wipe with a soft cloth when required.
• Store in a dry place when not in use.
• Avoid excessive force that could damage the wood.
