This step serves as an initial polish. 2. **Resting Period:** Allow the beads to rest naturally for about a week. During this time, they will dry and develop a fine, uniform oxidation layer through exposure to the air. It is important to avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight. 3. **Cultivating Patina:** Continue to gently rub the beads with gauze or cotton gloves for about 20-30 minutes daily. After 1-2 weeks, you may notice a slight tackiness (the surface will feel less smooth, a bit sticky). This indicates that a thin layer of patina has formed on the beads. 4. **Hardening the Patina:** After achieving this state, let the beads rest again for a period, allowing them to dry naturally and the patina to harden to a certain degree. This usually takes about a week. 5. **Repeat and Refine:** Repeat steps 3 and 4. After approximately three to five months, you will observe a lustrous, radiant sheen on the beads. Old Mountain Sandalwood requires careful maintenance. Avoid contact with any liquids, as this can cause it to lose its luster. When wearing, please refrain from smoking and avoid spraying perfume on the wrist where the bracelet is worn, as this can affect the natural fragrance of the beads. **Remarks** A pair of cotton gloves will be included with your purchase!
