KANAKAL Care: How to Care for Your PLA Jewelry

PLA: What is it?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a material used in 3D printing. It is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.

Specifically, this allows for the creation of jewelry with shapes impossible to produce with traditional methods: organic structures, architectural lines, sculptural volumes, unique textures…

Why We Love It at KANAKAL

  • Very lightweight to wear
  • Ideal for daring designs
  • Modern and clean finish
  • Allows for great creative freedom
  • Comfortable for everyday wear

A visually striking piece, without the accompanying weight. And we approve.

How to Care for Your KANAKAL PLA Jewelry

PLA likes gentleness. Here are some good practices:

To Do

  • Clean with a soft, dry cloth
  • If necessary, use a damp cloth
  • Store away from direct sunlight
  • Keep in a box or pouch after use
  • Handle with care

To Avoid

  • Hot water
  • Car in direct sunlight
  • Heat sources (radiator, hair dryer, scorching beach…)
  • Perfume directly on the jewelry
  • Household cleaning products or solvents
  • Strong impacts or forced twisting

In Summary

Treat it like a design piece, not a set of keys.
