Daily Wear: Put jewelry on last, after lotions, perfumes, and hairspray have dried. These can dull metals and cloud crystals over time.
Storage: Use the soft pouch we included. It prevents scratches and keeps pieces from tangling. If you're storing multiple pieces, keep them separate so chains don't knot and stones don't chip each other.
Cleaning: A soft, dry cloth is usually all you need. For brass and copper, a gentle polish restores shine. Avoid chemical cleaners on crystals.
Remove Before: Swimming, showering, hot tubs, dishes, and sleeping. Chlorine and salt water are hard on metals. Snagging a delicate wire in your sleep is harder on you.
Embrace the Patina: Brass and copper develop character over time. Some people love the warm, aged look. If you prefer bright and shiny, a polishing cloth brings it back.
