This process preserves the authentic texture of handcrafted soldering and forging. ● Jewelry Care Tips 1. All jewelry, regardless of material, is sensitive to moisture. Exposure to rain, sweat, perfume, bathing, hot springs, and chemicals can severely damage jewelry and cause oxidation. It is best to avoid and keep jewelry away from these elements. 2. We recommend wearing your jewelry frequently, as the natural oils from your skin can impart a beautiful, warm luster. 3. Over time and with wear, jewelry may exhibit signs of oxidation or tarnishing, turning yellow or black. You can gently brush the surface with a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in toothpaste or polishing powder, or use a silver polishing cloth or copper polishing cloth to restore its original metallic sheen. 4. If the jewelry has undergone a special oxidation treatment, avoid excessive polishing to prevent the intended design effect from diminishing. 5. If you are concerned about potential skin irritation from the chemical agents in silver or copper polishing cloths, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly before wearing. 6. Natural stones, crystals, and pearls can be cleaned with clean water and then wiped with a soft cloth. 7. When not wearing your jewelry, clean it and store it in a sealed bag to slow down the oxidation process. 8. Avoid storing different pieces of jewelry together in the same box. Variations in hardness can cause friction and wear among the items. 9. Never use abrasive tools to clean your jewelry, as they can leave scratches on the surface. If a brush is necessary, use a clean, very soft brush for cleaning. Origin / Manufacturing Method Made in Taiwan, Handmade
