care for your gem

care for your gem

Each Gemsomnia piece is assembled by hand using thoughtfully sourced materials including gemstones, glass, metal, resin, vintage elements, and found objects.

Small variations, texture shifts, and signs of wear over time are part of the character of handmade work.

general care

  • avoid prolonged water, heat, steam, or direct sunlight
  • avoid lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaning products
  • handle dimensional or detailed areas gently
  • avoid dropping or placing pressure on raised elements

cleaning

  • wipe gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth
  • spot clean carefully when needed
  • avoid soaking or harsh cleaners

phone cases, bags + charms

  • avoid excessive pulling, bending, or overfilling
  • be mindful of friction from keys, zippers, and rough surfaces
  • remove phone cases gently from the corners rather than bending forcefully
  • store thoughtfully to help preserve shape and structure
