It's an invitation to feel love, to love others, and to share the message of love with those around us.

Please avoid strenuous or dangerous activities, impacts, or bending while wearing to prevent scratches or damage from friction or collision. Clean gently with a slightly damp soft cloth. ◆ Brass oxidizes over time, developing a darker, aged patina. To prevent oxidation, it is recommended to wipe the piece clean and store it in a sealed bag when not in use. To restore its luster, you can use the following methods: 1. Gently clean with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste. 2. Mix white vinegar and salt evenly, then use a cloth or toothbrush to scrub away oxidation, followed by rinsing with water and drying. 3. Use brass polish (available at hardware stores) on a soft cloth and rub repeatedly to restore shine. ◆ Avoid wearing while bathing in hot springs or swimming. If the item gets wet, dry it promptly. ◆ After wearing, gently wipe the leather cord with a dry cloth to remove surface dust. Daily cleaning takes only a few seconds. **[ Important Notes ]** Please consider the following points carefully before making a purchase. 1. For individuals prone to copper allergies. 2.
