Here are some tips for caring for jewelry made of copper, natural stones, surgical steel and resin:
• Storage: Store your jewelry in a dry, clean place, separated from other items to prevent scratches – preferably in a jewelry box.
• Cleaning: To clean your jewelry, you can use a soft cloth soaked in clean water and wipe it gently. Avoid using detergents as they can damage the surface of the stones or dull the resin.
• Wearing: Natural stones and resin are sensitive to impact and scratching, so avoid wearing jewelry during intense physical activity. Remove jewelry at night. Also avoid contact of jewelry with cosmetics.
• Maintenance: Copper can patinate and oxidize on the surface over time. Therefore, it is worth wiping it with a soft cloth from time to time to clean it and maintain its shine. Surgical steel does not darken over time and is resistant to mechanical damage, but to maintain its shine, it is also worth wiping it with a soft cloth.
In the case of gold-colored surgical steel jewelry, the gold plating may gradually wear off over time with normal wear and tear. This is a normal feature of gold-plated jewelry. If you want the most durability, I encourage you to consider silver or copper surgical steel jewelry.
Remember that handmade jewelry is unique and requires special care to maintain its beauty for a long time.
