Jewelry Care

With its durability and affordable price point, bronze is a wonderful gold alternative. Yellow bronze is an alloy that is nickel and lead free, mostly comprised of copper, tin, and zinc. We love bronze because, unlike gold-plated items, it retains its color. With a polishing cloth, you can keep your bronze looking shiny forever!

To keep your bronze shiny, store it in a dry place. We recommend putting your bronze jewelry on after applying perfumes and lotions, and removing your pieces before showering, swimming, or coming in contact with harsher chemicals (such as cleaning solutions).

If your bronze has become dull, give it a swipe with one of our polishing cloths. After just a few seconds, it will be good as new!

To clean your bronze of sweat, dirt, etc: Give it a quick soak in a bowl of warm water and a small amount of gentle dish soap for 10 minutes. Give it a little scrub with a toothbrush or a cloth, rinse, and dry well.

To remove oxidation/tarnish: Natural acids like lemon juice or distilled white vinegar work great for helping eat away at any tarnish buildup. Clean your piece using the above method, and then add some slightly diluted lemon juice or vinegar to a microfiber cloth. Give your piece a rub and let the lemon juice or vinegar sit on the piece for a few minutes (not until dried) and then rinse and dry thoroughly. If you have mineral oil, you can rub a thin layer on the surface once dried.

Care for your beaded jewelry can vary depending on how it is strung and what beads are being used. However, here are some best practices for making sure your beaded jewelry lasts a long time:

We recommend taking your pieces off before sleeping, showering, swimming, exercising, etc. 

Store your items in a dry place.

We reccommend handling your pieces gently. While we pride ourselves on the strength of our stringing materials and techniques, things happen! A little too strong of a tug or a snag on on something, can cause breaks. Life happens, and we're always happy to repair your beaded jewelry!
