WHY SHOULD I PRESERVE Agarwood CAREFULLY?
With common jewelry such as gold, silver or jade, we just need to keep it clean and clean it occasionally to keep the product clean and shiny. But with agarwood, it’s different, because it’s basically still wood, so the hardness will be less than other jewelry, and at the same time, agarwood can easily absorb odors if we don’t wear it carefully so that strange smells or chemicals can seep in. into your arms.
With a product that has a very high value in jewelry, but is easily affected by external factors, it seems that using agarwood also makes us practice being more careful and attentive. ?
WAYS TO PRESERVE Agarwood is ALWAYS GOOD
Although it is said to be difficult, using agarwood will not be too difficult if we practice paying more attention to the details. In the long run, it will become a reflex when wearing a high-quality agarwood bracelet.
1. Minimize the agarwood ring’s contact with water
Agarwood is basically a type of wood in which most wood materials have limited water adhesion, which causes the grain to become ruffled (if it is agarwood with little oil content, it will easily become ruffled), or lose its original shine. Especially when soaked in water for a long time, the agarwood will become discolored and become ruffled with tiny wood fibers, and the agarwood fibers will look dull.
In case the agarwood bracelet is exposed to water, do not use a high-temperature dryer to dry it because it will cause loss of oil on the outside of the agarwood . Instead, you should dry the ring with a cloth, and let it dry naturally under the wind of a fan or in an open space, then use a soft cloth to gently rub the agarwood thread for about 30 – 60 seconds, the agarwood thread will gradually return to its original color. , the rough wood fibers will become smooth when rubbed.
2. Avoid letting too much sweat get on the agarwood bracelet
If there is little sweat, it won’t have any effect, but it will also help the bass ring to slowly enter the water better. But ! Excessive sweating due to exercising or working outdoors for many hours will cause the bracelet to become opaque and no longer have its original shine. Therefore, we should not wear the bracelet when we sweat a lot. It is better to take it off and put it in a few specialized pockets.
But with agarwood bracelets with high oil aging, sweating will not have much of an effect because the structure of the oil fibers and wood of the woven bead is very hard.
3. Do not leave agarwood bracelets near food, cosmetics, or perfume
Agarwood rings are products that are very susceptible to odors. If exposed to a lot of food odors or cosmetic chemicals, the natural scent of agarwood will be overwhelmed. This unintentionally lightens the smell of incense, at which point the bracelet only emits the smell of the product stuck to it. But we don’t need to worry too much, because after a few days to a week, or even 2 weeks, the bracelet will release all the infected odor and return to its original state. You can speed up the process better if you put it in a Mika jar with agarwood chips to infuse the scent faster.
But for rings with too strong an odor, you will have to ask the seller to help you re-process them. Therefore, when applying lotion or spraying perfume, you should let the product absorb completely before wearing the bracelet. Especially do not wear agarwood when bathing, and do not boil the agarwood string in boiling water.
4. Avoid strong collisions and rubbing with sharp objects
Although it has quite good durability, agarwood bracelets are still likely to be chipped when subjected to strong impacts, especially agarwood bracelets with characteristic soft fibers such as agarwood, agarwood, etc., which will easily be chipped. more crumbly . Over time, the aesthetics of the bracelet will also decrease significantly. To avoid the above situation, you should limit using too much force or doing heavy work while wearing the bracelet.
