Jewelry Care Guide
The following care instructions can help protect and extend the life of your handcrafted jewelry.
When not in use, remove and store your jewelry in a cool, dry space for safekeeping.
A best practice is to keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined case that has compartments and dividers, to prevent scratching and tangling. Fastening the clasps of your jewelry before storing will also keep chains from becoming entwined. It is also recommended to roll beaded bracelets on and off, rather than pulling them, to avoid excess stretching.
Avoid chemicals and products that can cause potential damage to your jewelry.
Always take off your jewelry before cleaning, performing sports, or going into a pool. Even everyday products such as hairspray, lotion, and perfume can be damaging to certain types of metals and colored gems. When putting on your jewelry, a good rule to follow is last on, first off. Use a soft cloth when cleaning to remove natural body oils and other buildup after wearing.
Brass Jewelry Info
Brass is a combination of copper and zinc, which is very durable, but over time some pieces can naturally tarnish from oxidation. In a lot of creations, brass components that are weathered and have already undergone this process are purposely chosen. The patina that forms not only helps protect the metal, it also provides a vintage and often rustic look to add to the character and beauty of the piece.
Care and Wear Instructions
Since brass contains copper, those with sensitive skin or are allergic to copper should avoid brass jewelry, as it is not hypoallergenic. If your skin becomes irritated after wearing any piece of jewelry for that matter, please do not continue to wear it! Also always remove your jewelry before cleaning, performing sports or going into a pool, as additional exposure to chemicals and elements can damage the piece and ruin the finish.
