CARE TO WEAR IT WELL
CARE &
CLEANING
Follow along for ways to keep your pieces looking pristine.
FOR WATCHES
CRYSTAL
Swipe with an alcohol-soaked swab for a fine shine.
LEATHER STRAP
Use a soft microfiber cloth for surface cleaning. Avoid wearing and storing in direct sunlight.
STAINLESS STEEL STRAP
Use a polishing cloth for a protective, maximum shine.
MORE CLEANING SOLUTIONS*
We suggest these solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:
3:1 solution of ammonia-based window cleaner to water
4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water
*Do not use soap products, as soap leaves residue behind when dry.
These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces.
FOR JEWELRY
For jewelry without freshwater pearls: Mix mild soap and warm water and use a soft toothbrush for safe cleaning.
Use a polishing cloth to clean jewelry with freshwater pearls for maximum luster and protection.
Keep your Skagen pieces looking pristine by following these simple tips:
Put your accessories on last when getting dressed and take them off before sleeping.
Apply any fragrance or hairspray before you put on your jewelry.
Take care when handling your Skagen pieces. Accidentally dropping them on the floor or knocking them against hard surfaces can hurt their delicate structure.
Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing and participating in sports or other physical activities.
Store your accessories in their provided pouches in a cool, dry place. Water, sunlight and exposure to chemicals or perspiration can cause discoloration.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the tool handle points toward the watch case. Pressing the adjustment tool against the straight pin may bend and destroy the pin.
2. Shift the adjustable buckle to the desired position. Clasp must be placed in one of the adjustment indentations on the back of the band.
3. Press the slotted clasp closed.
CARING FOR PARKER CLAY LEATHER GOODS
Use Clean Hands and a Clean Cloth
Wipe or dab the surface with a damp, soft cloth with clean hands. When it comes to leather, take a conservative approach! It’s better to start small using a dry cloth and apply cleaner or warm water as needed.
Use Genuine Leather Cleaner
Apply the cleanser in circular motions with a damp cloth to remove any excess solution to treat the surface. Using a cleaner one or two times a year should be sufficient to avoid over-treating the leather.
Moisturize With a Leather Conditioner
Applying a quality leather conditioner will preserve the look and feel of your item. Choose a conditioner intended for leather and apply it with a soft pad or microfiber cloth for maximum results.
