Aircraft Jewellery Care Guide

Caring for Your Aircraft-Skin Jewellery

Each piece from The Aviation Jeweller is crafted from genuine aircraft materials — including original paint, patina, and surface finish. Because these materials have their own history, they deserve a little extra care.

Storing Your Piece

• Store in the soft pouch or box provided, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Keep each piece separately to avoid scratching.
• Avoid storing in bathrooms or near heat sources.

Cleaning & Handling

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry or very slightly damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cloths, brushes, or scouring pads.
• Avoid all chemical cleaners, jewellery dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and polishing agents — these can damage or strip original aircraft paint and surface finishes.
• Do not immerse your piece in water.

Protecting the Original Patina

• The aged patina and original paint are part of what makes each piece unique. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can wear away these surfaces.
• Handle your piece by the edges or mount where possible, rather than the face of the aircraft material.

Wearing Your Piece

• Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing, exercising, or applying perfume, hairspray, or lotions.
• Put your jewellery on last when getting dressed.

General Tips

• Inspect settings and fastenings periodically to ensure stones or components remain secure.
• If your piece requires repair or professional attention, contact us before attempting any at-home fix.
