TARNISHING
Your jewellery can age and tarnish over time and some of the materials will naturally change the colour. Thats completely normal and a part of the chemical process especially with natural materials like brass or wood.
WOOD & STONE
Wooden jewellery sometimes need oil or it could crack from being too dried out. Use some olive oil, put it on a small piece of soft cloth and gently wipe your jewellery. Stone jewellery can be cleaned with a wet cloth.
Organic jewelry may vary slightly from each other in color, structure and size because they are made from natural materials. Every piece is unique.
BRASS & WHITE BRASS
Brass is a metal alloy made from a combination of zinc and copper.It will oxidize, change in color and can darken over the time - this is completely normal. Avoid moisture conditions and polish regularly to keep it shiny.
Sometimes it can turn your skin green, this can happen if your jewelry comes in contact with water or sweat. Don't worry this is just the oxidation of the metal. You can clean it with an old tooth brush and tooth paste. Put a small amount on the soft toothbrush and gently brush your jewelry until the shine has returned. Rinse off and dry thoroughly.
You can also use some fresh lemon juice, simply wipe off the juice with a wet cloth.
Please do not autoclave your brass jewellery.
Brass jewellery has an antique appearance, it also has a more light yellow/ gold/ bronze look. Please always allow some imperfections and marks.
