CARE AND SERVICES
Each piece of repurposed aluminum jewelry undergoes a test-wear period before sale to ensure it meets high standards of durability, allowing for confident wear. That being said, like all handcrafted jewelry, it is delicate and proper care is needed for a long life.
CARING FOR YOUR PIECES
TARNISH-FREE BEAUTY
Aluminum is a unique metal that does not tarnish, allowing for worry-free enjoyment without the need for regular polishing or special storage.
EMBRACE THE NATURAL LOOK
The polished shine from the tumbler may fade over time, especially with everyday wear and high impact pieces like rings, resulting in a lovely matte finish that Lu personally loves.
If a shine is desired, visits to the studio are welcome, or consultations with another local jeweler who shares a passion for craftsmanship can be considered.
LAST ON, FIRST OFF
For optimal care, jewelry should be put on as the last step of a morning routine and removed first when winding down for the evening. This practice helps minimize exposure to lotions, perfumes, and other substances that may affect the metal.
CELEBRATE THE SOFTNESS
As a soft metal, aluminum can gather character marks. These marks are seen as part of the unique story of each piece, adding character rather than detracting from its beauty.
JEWELRY REPAIR SERVICES
Lu makes pieces to last, but life happens and repair is a pillar of sustainability.

Repairs that do not require a re-cast are free of charge, minus shipping fees to and from the studio.
