JEWELRY & LEATHER CARE

飾品與皮革保養指南

At VINAVAST, every piece of jewelry and leatherware is built to endure, gaining unique character over time. Proper care ensures that your investment retains its structural integrity, unvarnished beauty, and artisan heritage for decades to come.

VINAVAST 嚴選的每一件手作銀飾與皮革作品皆具備經久耐用的品質，並隨時間淬鍊出獨特的風格。正確的保養能確保您的珍藏維持結構完好，延續其原粹的美感與職人價值。

1. SILVERCARE & OXIDATION（純銀飾品保養與硫化說明）

  • Natural Oxidation（自然氧化）: Pure silver naturally reacts with sulfur and moisture in the air or on skin, developing a deeper patina over time. （純銀接觸空氣或肌膚上的微量硫化物與濕氣後產生自然氧化屬正常現象，會隨時間呈現更具質感的復古光澤。）

  • Daily Cleaning（日常清潔）: Gently wipe your silver pieces with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore shine to raised surfaces. （使用專用拭銀布輕柔擦拭，即可輕鬆恢復凸起表面的金屬光澤。）

  • Artisan Oxidation Notice（原廠硫化染黑警示）: DO NOT use liquid silver dip cleaners on items with intricate carvings, hand-engravings, or oxidized contrast (e.g., TARO WASHIMI or GOOD ART HLYWD). Dip chemicals will strip away the craftsman's intentional blackening in the recessed details. （針對具備細膩手工雕刻或黑魂陰影對比之作品，請勿使用液體浸泡式洗銀水，以免化學成分破壞職人精心製作的原廠硫化染黑效果。）

  • Water & Chemicals（水份與化學物質）: Remove silver jewelry before entering hot springs (sulfur content will blacken silver immediately), swimming pools (chlorine), or applying perfumes and lotions. （泡溫泉時請務必取下銀飾（硫磺會使其迅速變黑），並避免接觸游泳池氯水、香水及化學保養品。）

2. FINE GOLD & GEMSTONES（高階 K 金與寶石保養）

  • Gold & Platinum（18K 金 / 22K 金 / 鉑金）: Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soaps, and a soft-bristled brush. Store separately to avoid scratching against other heavy silver pieces. （使用溫水混合中性肥皂，搭配軟毛刷輕柔刷洗即可。建議獨立存放，避免與厚重銀飾互相摩擦產生刮痕。）

  • Turquoise, Pearls & Gemstones（綠松石、珍珠與寶石）: Natural stones such as turquoise or organic gems are porous. Avoid exposing them to direct heat, dish soaps, or immersion in water. Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth only. （天然綠松石與珍珠等有機寶石具備微孔結構，應避免高溫、洗潔劑或長時間浸泡水中。僅需以微濕的軟布擦拭即可。）

3. LEATHERWARE MAINTENANCE（手作皮革保養）

  • Aging & Patina（皮革養色）: Vegetable-tanned and premium heavy leather will darken and soften with daily use, taking on a personalized luster. （植鞣革與頂級重磅皮革會隨日常使用吸收手部油脂，顏色逐漸變深並呈現獨一無二的溫潤光澤。）

  • Moisture Protection（防潮與乾燥）: If your leather goods get wet, wipe away excess surface water immediately with a dry cloth and allow them to air-dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. （若皮革不慎淋濕，請立即以乾布吸乾表面水分，並置於陰涼通風處自然風乾，切勿使用吹風機或陽光暴曬。）

  • Conditioning（油脂滋養）: Apply a tiny amount of high-grade leather balm or mink oil every few months using a soft cotton cloth to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. （建議每隔數月使用少量頂級皮革保養油或油脂，以棉布均勻薄抹，能保持皮革柔韌並防止乾裂。）
