Material: 

Our jewelry collection is crafted from carefully selected metals, each chosen for its distinct beauty and durability:

• Oxidized Jewelry – Pure Silver Metal: Our oxidized jewelry pieces are crafted from pure silver, which undergoes a special oxidation process. This creates a unique darkened or "antiqued" finish that gives the jewelry a vintage, artisanal look. Pure silver is chosen for oxidized pieces due to its responsiveness to the tarnishing process, allowing for a beautiful patina over time.
• Brass Jewelry: Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is favored for its warm, golden hue and exceptional durability. Known for its rich color and ability to mimic gold, brass is commonly used in traditional and contemporary jewelry designs. Brass jewelry is plated to retain its finish, but it benefits from gentle care to prevent tarnishing.
• Copper-Based Jewelry: Copper-based jewelry is made using copper or copper alloys, known for their reddish-brown color and natural luster. Copper is a malleable metal, allowing for intricate designs. It’s often plated to prevent greenish oxidation, but occasional cleaning will help maintain its shine.

Care Tips to Preserve Your Jewelry:
To help your jewelry retain its brilliance, please follow these care instructions:

• Avoid Moisture Exposure: Keep your jewelry dry to preserve its finish. Avoid contact with water (e.g., swimming, showering, or washing hands).
• Remove Before Sleeping: Take off your jewelry before bedtime to prevent accidental tugging or damage.
• Protect from Chemicals: Allow perfumes, lotions, and other sprays to dry on your skin before wearing jewelry to avoid tarnishing.
• Store Properly: Place your jewelry in a closed bag or box when not in use. An anti-tarnish pouch is ideal to protect against moisture and dust.
• Limit Direct Sunlight: Store your jewelry away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure may dull its color and finish.
• Handle with Care: When putting on or removing jewelry, handle it gently to avoid bending or scratching delicate designs.

Cleaning Tips:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after wearing to remove any oils or residues.
• For a deeper clean, use a soft-bristle toothbrush with a mild soap solution, but avoid scrubbing as it may scratch the surface. Dry immediately after cleaning.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your jewelry remains as dazzling as ever for years to come.
