Everyday Care
Nephrite is tough but not indestructible. A few simple habits will preserve its soft lustre and protect the jewellery's connections.
Put jewellery on last. Apply perfume, hairspray, sunscreen and makeup before putting on your jade.
Keep it away from chemicals. Remove jewellery before swimming, hot springs, cleaning or using bleach and household cleaners.
Clean it simply. Wipe with a soft lint-free cloth after wearing. If needed, wash briefly with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap, then dry completely. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
Store it separately. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box, away from harder gemstones and metal edges that may scratch it.
Avoid knocks and sudden heat. Remove jewellery before exercise, manual work or any activity where it may strike a hard surface.
Cords and Connections
Red cord and other woven cords naturally soften and wear with use. Check the cord, knots, drilled jade holes, jump rings and clasps regularly. If a cord becomes frayed, loose or stretched, stop wearing the piece and have it restrung. Cord wear is normal and is not a bad omen.
If Jade Is Chipped or Cracked
Stop wearing the piece so the damage does not worsen. Store all parts safely and consult an experienced jeweller or jade craftsperson. Do not use household glue on jade or its metal connections.
日常保養
和田玉堅韌，但並非不會受損。簡單的日常習慣，有助保持溫潤光澤並保護首飾連接結構。
最後才佩戴首飾。 請先使用香水、髮膠、防曬乳與彩妝，再戴上玉飾。
避免接觸化學用品。 游泳、泡溫泉、清潔家居或使用漂白水與清潔劑前，請先取下首飾。
簡單清潔即可。 佩戴後用柔軟、不掉毛的布擦拭；如有需要，可用溫水加少量中性皂液短暫清洗，然後完全擦乾。切勿使用超音波或蒸汽清洗。
分開收納。 每件作品應獨立放入柔軟布袋或有內襯的首飾盒，避免與較硬的寶石或金屬邊緣摩擦。
避免碰撞與溫度突變。 運動、做家務或可能撞擊硬物時，請先取下玉飾。
繩飾與連接部位
紅繩及其他編繩會隨佩戴逐漸變軟和磨損，屬正常現象。請定期檢查繩身、繩結、玉石孔位、金屬圈與扣件；如出現起毛、鬆動或拉長，應暫停佩戴並重新編繩。繩子磨損並不代表不祥。
如果玉石崩缺或出現裂紋
請停止佩戴，避免損傷擴大，並妥善保存所有部件，再諮詢有經驗的珠寶工匠或玉雕師。請勿使用家用膠水自行修補玉石或金屬連接處。
