• Your piece is meant to be worn often.
• Remove it during heavy work or anything that could bend or catch the metal.
• Avoid lotions, perfums, and chemicals directly on the surface, they can dull the finish.

• Sterling silver can darken naurally with exposure to water, sweat, and air.
• This natural patina is normal and expected; it's part of how the piece settles into itself.
• If you prefer a brighter surface, dry the piece after contact with water.

• Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the metal.
• For silver, a simple polishing cloth works well.
• Avoid harsh cleaners or ultrasonic machines, they can strip the texture and the hand-worked details.

• Store your piece in a dry place, ideally in a small cloth or box.
• Keeping pieces separate prevents scratches and tangling.
• Silver stored in open air will darken faster; enclosed storage slows this process.

Every piece will develop its own surface over time. A darker edge, a softened highlight, a small shift in tone. This is not damage. It's the metal responding to your skin, your environment, your life. No two pieces age the same.
