CARE NOTES

This piece is crafted with raw brass and gold-plated brass components. Over time, brass may naturally oxidize, and the gold plating may wear off, which may cause slight color changes.To maintain its beauty, we recommend practicing proper jewelry care:

Storage: Store your jewelry on a hanging display to prevent tangling and scratching.
Avoid Moisture: Keep your jewelry away from water, perfumes, and lotions, as contact with liquids or chemicals may speed up tarnishing.
Clean Gently: To remove fingerprints or build up, use a soft, dry cloth and gently polish the surface. We recommend using cloths specifically made for cleaning jewelry such as the ones seen here.
