Each piece is meticulously crafted using traditional metalworking techniques such as sawing, hammering, carving, soldering, filing, setting, and polishing, preserving the authentic texture achieved through handcraftsmanship. ● Care Tips 1. All jewelry, regardless of material, is susceptible to moisture. Exposure to elements like rain, sweat, perfume, bathing, hot springs, and chemicals can cause significant damage and oxidation. It is advisable to avoid contact with these substances. 2. We recommend wearing your jewelry often, as the natural oils from your skin can impart a beautiful, warm luster. 3. Over time, jewelry may oxidize or tarnish, appearing yellow or black. You can gently brush the surface with a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush using toothpaste or polishing powder, or use a silver polishing cloth or brass polishing cloth to restore its original metallic shine. 4. For items with a special oxidized finish, avoid excessive polishing to preserve the intended design effect. 5. If you are concerned about potential skin sensitivity to the chemical agents in polishing cloths, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry thoroughly before wearing. 6. Natural stones, crystals, and pearls can be cleaned with clean water and then gently wiped with a soft cloth. 7. When not in use, clean your jewelry and store it in a sealed bag to minimize oxidation. 8. Avoid storing different jewelry pieces together in the same box, as variations in hardness can lead to friction and wear. 9. Never use harsh tools to clean your jewelry, as this can cause scratches on the surface. If a brush is necessary, use a clean, very soft brush. Origin/Manufacturing Method Made in Taiwan, Handmade
