JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE
Brass and copper naturally tarnish — or oxidize — over time. Your jewellery is treated with Renaissance Wax which forms a protective layer, helping to prevent the metal from tarnishing. However, the wax will fade over time. Oxidization can add a beautiful new dimension to your jewellery. But if it becomes undesirable, here are a few simple tips to keep your pieces in great condition.
Care Tips
Store your jewellery in a pouch, box or airtight bag. The box your jewellery arrives in contains an anti-tarnish insert that's ideal for storing.
​
Keep your jewellery clean before and after use with a soft cloth such as chamois or microfiber.
This will remove any oil or sweat from your skin which causes oxidization.
​
Avoid sleeping, showering or exercising while wearing your jewellery as this can speed up the oxidization process.
​
Soap, perfume, moisturiser and sun cream can also cause damage. So it's best to remove your jewellery before applying these products.
​
Cleaning
Buffing with a polishing cloth can help remove any dullness and make copper and brass gleam again. You can help minimise tarnishing by giving a quick wipe down with a jewellery polishing cloth before and after you wear.
​
For tough stains, dip a wet toothbrush or microfiber cloth in baking soda or lemon juice and rub gently to clean copper and brass. Rinse and dry. Please take care to avoid any beads or semi-precious stones as this may damage them.
​
Polishing pads are great for removing tarnish from your metal and bringing items to a high shine without leaving any residue. They are made of tight-bond cellular foam with permanently bonded micro abrasives. Use these pads dry otherwise they become a sticky mess. Dispose when dark grey on both sides.
