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 of jewellery reveals those details differently once the wood is reshaped. Because skateboard maple is dense and durable, it performs well in everyday wear, but the surface still benefits from simple care.

To protect the colours and keep the wood stable, every piece is finished with a suitable protective layer: a strong, durable coating for rings and belt buckles, and natural oils or oil-and-beeswax blends for earrings, bracelets and pendants. These finishes help the wood stay smooth, comfortable and clean.

Below are straightforward recommendations that help your jewellery stay in good condition for as long as possible. Follow these steps to keep the surface protected, the colours sharp, and the wood performing at its best over time.

Rings and Belt Buckles

These pieces are the most durable in the collection. They’re made from dense skateboard maple and sealed with a strong protective coating that keeps the surface bright, smooth and long-lasting. They handle everyday wear well, but like any natural material, they stay at their best with 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 prevent scratches.

If the surface ever looks tired, refresh the gloss with a universal polishing product — T-Cut works well, but any gentle polish for glossy surfaces will do.

Earrings, Bracelets and Pendants

This also applies to other small accessories such as hair forks and keyrings.

These pieces are finished with natural, skin-safe oils or a light oil-and-beeswax blend that keeps the wood breathable and comfortable to wear. The finish brings out the wood’s colour tones and grain, but it reacts to moisture, soaps and strong products, so gentle care helps the surface stay clean and stable over time.

Care tips:
• Keep dry; avoid showers, swimming and heavy sweating.
• Avoid alcohol-based sprays, perfumes and harsh cleaners near the wood.
• Refresh with a tiny drop of natural oil (jojoba, coconut, mineral or olive) if the surface starts to look pale or dry.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth when needed.
• Store somewhere clean and dry when not in use to prevent unnecessary wear.

Ear Tunnels and Plugs

These pieces are finished with natural oil only, making them breathable and suitable for stretched ears. Because the surface has no wax or heavy coatings, it needs more regular but simple care.
Important:

• Keep completely dry — avoid showering, swimming and sauna use.

• Do not use alcohol-based products or harsh soaps.

• Reapply a small amount of natural oil when the wood feels dry; let it soak in fully before wearing.

• Store in a soft pouch or box to protect from dust and scratches.
