Be mindful when wearing your jewelry around harsh lotions, cleaning agents, beauty products and water. Bronze and sterling silver naturally oxidize over time. Moisture can accelerate bronze oxidation and cause skin discoloration. We recommend removing bronze jewelry before washing hands, showering or swimming. When necessary, gently clean your jewelry with soft cotton or microfiber cloth. To keep your jewelry in pristine condition, we recommend storing it in an airtight plastic bag, in a cool, dry place to discourage tarnishing.
