Cleaning: Jewelry worn or displayed for extended periods may inevitably accumulate oil, dust, and other grime. When dirty, gently wipe with a soft cloth or a small soft brush. Afterward, place a drop of olive oil or coconut oil in your palm and gently rub the bracelet or necklace to coat it. 2. Avoid contact with perfumes, oils, and chemicals to prevent erosion. Refrain from wearing jewelry while bathing or showering, as cosmetics or toiletries can damage the pieces and affect their vibrant color. 3. Temperature Sensitivity: Keep away from heat sources and environments with significant temperature fluctuations. High temperatures, prolonged sun exposure, and rapid temperature changes can lead to fading, graying, or even cracking. 4. For any inquiries, please feel free to send us a private message.
