Care & Maintenance

At Monarch Made, each piece is handcrafted with precision, care, and high-quality materials. To keep your item looking as stunning as the day you received it, please follow these care guidelines.

Rhinestone Care

Your Monarch Made piece is adorned with individually placed rhinestones for maximum sparkle and durability.

  • Avoid dropping or applying heavy pressure to your items
  • Store in a soft pouch or dust bag when not in use
  • Keep away from rough surfaces to prevent scratching or stone displacement
  • If a stone becomes loose, reattach using a small amount of clear jewelry adhesive provided in your repair kit

Cleaning Instructions

  • Gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
  • For light dirt, use a slightly damp cloth (water only — no chemicals)
  • Do not soak or submerge your item in water
  • Avoid alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaners, as they may damage adhesive and finishes

Heat & Storage

  • Do not leave in extreme heat (cars, direct sunlight for long periods)
  • High temperatures can soften adhesive and affect rhinestone placement
  • Store in a cool, dry place

Acrylic & Clutch Care

  • Avoid overfilling your clutch to maintain shape and structure
  • Keep away from sharp objects to prevent scratches
  • Open and close clasps gently to preserve hardware

Fabric & Cosmetic Bags

  • Spot clean only with mild soap and water
  • Do not machine wash
  • Air dry only

Custom & Personalized Pieces

Each Monarch Made item is uniquely crafted for you:

  • Variations in stone placement and design are part of the handmade process
  • Custom text and logos should be handled with extra care to preserve detail

Important Notes

  • Monarch Made is not responsible for damage caused by improper care or handling
  • Due to the handcrafted nature, minor wear over time is normal with regular use
  • AB stones are prone to scratching, please avoid dragging the items on hard surfaces
