Jewelry care
Each piece is carefully handcrafted, but like any treasure, it needs a little attention to retain its sparkle over time. Here are some simple tips for caring for your jewelry:
Brass Jewelry
Brass is a raw, living metal that can naturally oxidize or tarnish, especially when exposed to moisture, perspiration, or certain chemicals.
• Keep it dry: Always remove your jewelry before washing your hands, showering, or swimming.
• Avoid chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, household products, and even your skin's natural pH can alter the metal. Always apply your products before putting on your jewelry.
• Clean gently: Use a soft cloth or brush with lukewarm water and mild soap. Occasionally, you can use a gentle mixture of lemon juice and baking soda to restore its shine.
• Store with care: Keep your jewelry in a dry place, ideally in a pouch or box to protect it from air and humidity.
Silver-plated brass jewelry
Silver-plated jewelry requires a bit more care to prevent the plating from tarnishing or scratching over time.
• Handle with care: Silver plating is delicate and can wear off from friction. Avoid wearing these pieces during physical activities or household chores.
• Avoid moisture and products: Like raw brass, these pieces should be kept away from water, perspiration, and cosmetics.
• Clean gently: Wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after each use. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive products.
• Store separately: Keep each piece of jewelry in its own pouch or box to prevent scratches.
