The Complete Guide to Wearing, Viewing, and Caring for Your Projection Jewellery

Photo projection jewellery is designed to keep one meaningful image discreetly inside the centre stone. This guide explains the simplest ways to view the photo and how to care for the jewellery without making assumptions about materials or water resistance.

Three ways to view the hidden photo

1. Look through the stone

Hold the piece close to one eye and look through the curved front of the centre stone. Move it slightly until the image comes into focus. Bright ambient light can make the image easier to see.

2. Use your phone camera

Open the camera app and place the curved front of the stone near the camera lens. Adjust the distance slowly until the photograph appears on screen.

3. Project it with phone light

In a dim room, place the flat back of the stone near your phone light and aim it toward a pale wall or sheet of paper. Move the jewellery and phone together to adjust the size and focus. A projected image can appear reversed because the light passes through the lens.

If the image looks blurry

Fingerprints, dust or skin oils on the centre stone can reduce clarity. Start by gently wiping both sides of the stone with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not use toothpaste or household cleaning products.

If the image still looks unclear, check the viewing angle and distance before assuming the personalised insert is damaged. If you need help, contact support@philu.co with your order number and a clear photo of the piece.

Everyday jewellery care

Materials, plating and finishes vary by design, so always check the exact material listed on the product page. As a general care rule, keep the piece dry, remove it before showering or swimming, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and wipe it gently after wear.

• Water: Keep the jewellery dry unless the specific product information states otherwise.
• Perfume and chemicals: Apply cosmetics and fragrance before putting the jewellery on.
• Storage: Store the piece in its jewellery box when it is not being worn.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive pastes or harsh chemical cleaners.

Sleeping, exercise and daily wear

Fine chains, settings and plated finishes can experience unnecessary wear from sleeping, exercise, friction or moisture. Removing the jewellery before bed, workouts and water activities is the safer choice for preserving both the finish and the personalised centre.

If a stone or component becomes loose

Stop wearing the piece and do not attempt a permanent repair with household glue. Contact PhilU so the issue can be assessed before further damage occurs.
