eyewear care

At iamtrend, we are very passionate about what we do, and we’re always striving toward offering our customers the very best in quality, style, and service. We would love for your new favourite eyewear to last as long as you need it to, no matter the material. We’re confident that our below helpful and easy-to-follow guidelines will assist you on your journey.

Selected pieces in our current eyewear collections have been made with gold-toned temples, accents, or gold-plated detailing. When a product is gold-plated, to achieve its finish, a coat of gold material is sprayed over a lesser metal that could either be Bronze, Copper, or Nickel.

Due to the nature of this material, there is a possibility that the gold-tone colour may change or tarnish over time due to the oxidation process that occurs when you combine certain jewellery metals with skin.

We have put together a short care guide on how to look after your eyewear to help keep and protect it for longer.

basic do's and don'ts

Don’ts:

• Do not use hand wash or expose your eyewear to water.
• Do not use harsh chemicals to clean your eyewear.
• Do not swim, shower, or bathe with your eyewear.
• Avoid allowing your friends or family members to wear your glasses as this can lead to a stretched or damaged frame.
• Do not store your eyewear in the bathroom.

Do’s:

• Do store your eyewear away from natural sunlight, heat, or moisture.
• When you remove your glasses, ensure that you place them down with your lenses facing upward to prevent them from getting scratched.
• Only use the iamtrend microfibre cloth included in our packaging to clean your lenses to avoid scratching them.
• Do remove your eyewear while exercising to avoid contact with perspiration.
• Do place your glasses inside your faux leather iamtrend pouch whenever you’re not wearing them to ensure that they stay safe, wherever you may have left them.

It is important to note that everyone’s skin type is different. Some may have never experienced colour changing, while others may have stronger reactions to bronze & gold plating. iamtrend will not be liable if this happens, and no refunds or returns will be made in this regard. If you are aware that you have sensitive skin or have experienced reactions to costume jewellery in the past, we recommend that you interchange your eyewear and avoid wearing them daily. For an everyday frame, opt for one that does not have gold-plating in its design.
