While the product surface has undergone a special coating treatment, the colored copper metal may change over time and with environmental exposure. This is an inherent characteristic of the material. 2. All copper plate coloring is meticulously done by hand by Orii artisans. Each product will exhibit subtle variations in pattern and color, which is the unique charm of handcrafted items. 3. If the product surface develops stains, it is recommended to gently wipe with a dry cloth. Ensure the item is stored in a dry condition for optimal preservation. 4. Please be aware that scratches caused by drops or friction may become initiation points for metal oxidation, potentially altering the pen's color.
