I know that you’ll probably want to wear your piece all day long♡ However, some crystals & gemstones are not safe for use in water. If you want your one of a kind piece to retain her original luster, i recommend the following:
- Please handle with care & don’t wear your jewelry to sleep as this may loosen the integrity of the metals.
- Avoid exposure to moisture: Showering, perfume, salt water, chemicals, jewelry cleaning solution, or other abrasive substances.
- Beautiful natural darkening (patina) of your piece may occur with wear especially with copper, sterling silver, and brass. If this happens, rub gently with the jewelry polishing cloth provided in your package to remove patina and restore original brilliance🌿

🌀To restore shine on copper, brass, or sterling silver; polish darkening off and it will be good as new

Please understand all handmade jewelry may contain imperfections because they were uniquely made by humans🤍 Slight scuffs/scratches, darkening, is not grounds for a refund/exchange/ or return. (Most darkening can be polished away with a polishing cloth) These items are hand made, please treat them with care. Damage done by the customer is not at my fault. No returns/refunds on handmade items
If you must:

-Showering with copper, brass, or sterling silver will rapidly darken and dull your piece (patina offers a beautiful vintage feel). Although I do not recommend showering with any jewelry, so long as you polish your pieces frequently with a polishing cloth these metals can withstand getting occasionally wet with freshwater.

-Stainless steel is water safe as well as any gold filled jewelry. These metals will not tarnish but may dull over time. Polish frequently & handle your handmade jewelry piece with care

-I do not recommend sleeping with any handmade jewelry

•All clothes I carry are hand made and took a lot of time for my teams to create, please treat them with care🤍 Other colors and/or patches not shown in my product photos, may be present. Sari, recycled silk, and patchwork items are made from scrap or repurposed fabrics so material & colors may vary. Tiedye items are hand dyed so they will come in varying colors, more or less saturated, other colors incorporated, etc. Handmade items cannot be exactly replicated and that is the beauty of these slow fashion pieces

•Carefully read description of all clothing items as it carries important information regarding sizing, fabric, and details. I do not accept returns for items that do not fit as expected. Kindly give them to a close friend or donate them if they do not fit to your liking🤍

•Product color may vary from the images shown. Every mobile display has a different capability to display colors/brightness/ vibrancy. Lighting conditions at the time the photo was taken can also affect an image's exact color/vibrancy.
