Please handle your new jewelry with care in order to maintain its form and to avoid scratching the surface.

When you are not wearing the pieces, they should be stored individually in a patted box or pouch. Avoid any friction with rough surfaces, as this will scratch the surface. 

Keep your jewelry free from perfumes, lotions and other chemicals. 

Pieces made of unplated bronze will develop a patina. This is normal and has been considered in the design process. You can use a polishing cloth to make them shine again. However, do not use polishing cloths on the silver and gold plated pieces. The cloths are often treated with chemicals which wear away the plating. 

For cleaning rinse the pieces unter luke warm water. Only when absolutely necessary you can use a mild dish washing detergent to clean your pieces.  Always dry the jewelry gently afterwards with a soft cloth. 

Please be aware that even with the most careful handling, all jewelry pieces will show some marks of time eventually. For pieces that are worn everyday, this is inevitable and should not be seen as a flaw, but as traces of your life together.
