By following these steps your jewelry can last a lifetime!
❖Please avoid working in harsh conditions while wearing your jewelry (especially rings and cuffs). Take your rings off before you wash your hands with rings that have stones. Remove all jewelry before bathing and swimming. Do not apply lotion or oils with rings on, over time these oils can dull/or change the color of porous stones and bone (for example variscite and deer antler).
❖Polish your jewelry when you see that it is starting to tarnish. You can fully polish your jewelry with the yellow sunshine polishing cloth included with your purchase, it will not take the patina off of your jewelry. The polishing cloth will turn black/brown over time and with use, but is still fully capable of polishing even when it looks worn, you can get a lot of use out of one cloth. All pieces of jewelry (excluding septum rings) purchased from me come with a polishing cloth and a black anti tarnish tab to put in your jewelry box.
❖When you are not wearing your jewelry please store it in a safe spot. The bag or box that your jewelry is shipped in is perfect for storing your pieces at home or on the go. Keep out of direct sunlight for long periods of time, and away from water, and humidity.
❖If for some reason your jewelry breaks, or gets really damaged feel free to email me and we can discuss repairs, if your piece breaks from improper care/use I may need to charge a fee for repairs if it is labor intensive.
❖If you follow these steps and regularly care for your jewelry, it will last a lifetime and can be passed down many generations! It can one day become an heirloom of your family!
❖Please be aware that some earrings and chokers/necklaces purchased from me have small jump rings that are not soldered shut, so please handle with care and try to avoid any snagging when wearing those types of pieces, though it is very unlikely that a jump ring would open unless pulled really hard.
