- To keep the leather jewelry soft for a long time, manufacturers recommend impregnating the material of the product with a special cream. This will also protect it from rapid wear and tear.
- Natural leather does not tolerate water! If you get caught in the rain or accidentally bathed with your favorite piece of jewelry, simply air dry it naturally.
- Putting on the battery is not worth it! The structure of the skin quickly dries up and deteriorates.
- Take off the jewelry before going to bed so as not to stretch it and keep its original shape for a long time. Proper wearing and timely care will allow you to enjoy your favorite piece of jewelry for years to come.
What to wear with?
It all depends on the style you choose. If you like to wear a watch, then you need to choose a tandem. In such cases, you should pay attention to the material of the watch strap and its color. If the watch is gold, then one or more thin bracelets with gold elements will look great. This will make a beautiful combination.
The right combination and selection of accessories is considered classically good taste. So, if your bracelet is made of python or crocodile skin, it is better to choose the same handbag. The color scheme must match. Ideal if both accessories are of the same brand.
