Maintenance
It is important that you maintain your gold jewellery, leather bags and leather shoes. That's why Isabel has listed all the important tips for you. This way you can enjoy your favourite Isabel Bernard items for longer!
Maintenance gold jewellery
All gold jewellery from Isabel Bernard is made of 14 karat real gold. Only the best materials are good enough for her. Throughout the years the jewellery remains stylish, brilliant and retains its value.
But gold jewellery can become less radiant over time. This can be caused, among other things, by jewellery coming into contact with all kinds of objects and products. Wearing perfume, sleeping and showering with your jewellery and physically heavy work can damage your jewellery.
Therefore it is important that you always maintain your gold jewellery. With the polishing cloth and the cleaning set of Isabel Bernard you can make sure that your gold jewellery will shine that little bit extra.
The polishing cloth and the cleaning set can be used for all gold jewellery. Whether you have a gold bracelet, earrings, necklace or ring. If your gold jewellery has become dull after wearing it for a long time, buy a cleaning cloth or set. That way you can always take care of your gold jewellery!
We have also listed some other tips on how to keep your jewellery as beautiful as possible:
- Put on your daily care, perfume and make-up before wearing your gold jewellery.
- Sleep without your jewellery. In this way, the skin's own acidity cannot affect the gold.
- Do not swim, exercise or shower with your gold jewellery.
- In case of heavy physical work, it is best to temporarily take off your jewellery.
- Finally, use a jewellery box to keep your jewellery neat and organised.

Maintenance of leather bags
At Isabel, all bags are made of calf leather. The genuine calf leather makes the bag even more beautiful with use. But make sure you keep the bag well maintained. Below are a few tips to ensure that your Isabel Bernard bag lasts for years.
Look out! There is a difference in type of leather. A distinction is made between crocodile leather and smooth leather.
| Croco leather | Before use, spray the bag with a dirt and water-repellent spray without wax. Do this every six weeks to protect the bag from dirt and water. To maintain the bag, grease the bag with a colorless leather cream. |
| Smooth leather | Before use, spray the bag with a dirt and water-repellent spray with wax. Do this every six weeks to protect the bag from dirt and water. To maintain the bag, grease the bag with a leather cream with wax to keep the leather supple. |
Maintenance of leather shoes
At Isabel we also sell shoes. Most shoes are made of calf leather. Only the best material is good enough for Isabel Bernard. Italian calf leather becomes more beautiful after wearing, but you should always make sure that you keep the shoes well maintained. In addition to calf leather, we also have shoes made of stretch suede. How can you best maintain the shoes? Below are a few tips to ensure that you enjoy your Isabel Bernard shoes for years to come. In addition, we also recommend the use of shoe stretchers so that the shape of your shoes remains at its best.
Look out! There is a difference in type of leather. A distinction is made between crocodile leather and smooth leather. And we also made shoes from stretch suede.
| Croco leather | This material is generally low-maintenance, in case of external damage it is best to touch up with an opaque cream. |
| Smooth leather | Calfskin is a soft product that needs to be well maintained. Such smooth leather is best maintained with a colorless cream which should be applied with a dry clean cloth. After greasing the shoes, they should be rubbed with a clean polishing brush (a clean dry soft cloth is also possible but is less effective) to regain the shine. Such shoe polish is usually also sufficiently protected against moisture and (splash) water. Polishing with an opaque (=coloured) cream is often the solution if the shoes are older or if the leather is damaged from outside. |
| Stretch suède | Minimal maintenance required, if the articles become a little less solid in color, you can update it with a colored suede spray. This will only take place when the shoes have already had a decent amount of use. The shoes can also be sprayed with a neutral protection spray. |
