Flower Bud Post Earrings

LEATHER

Store leather jewelry flat or hanging in a dry place (avoid the bathroom). Allow all liquids to dry before wearing. Wipe leather clean with a damp microfiber cloth if needed.

TAGUA & FOREST SEED JEWELRY

Tagua & forest seeds are very durable, but not waterproof. Water can cause the beads to crack or warp. Do not submerse in water. Allow liquids to dry before putting on your tagua jewelry. 

You can use beeswax to hand polish and buff tagua beads to a beautiful shine if you feel it is needed. 

BRASS JEWELRY

Brass will naturally oxidize and darken over time. To slow this process you can store your jewelry in a clear plastic bag with an anti tarnish strip. Avoid getting your jewelry wet & allow all liquids to dry before putting your jewelry on. 

Polish brass with a jewelry polishing cloth, such as a Sunshine Cloth (available to purchase on Amazon.com). 

STERLING SILVER AND 14K GOLD FILL JEWELRY

Store sterling silver in an air tight container with an anti tarnish strip. Avoid moisture, harsh chemicals and liquids on your jewelry. Clean with a soft cloth after wearing. 

14k Gold Filled (GF) jewelry is hypoallergenic, non-tarnishing and can get wet. It’s perfect for those with sensitivities and can be worn for days. 14k GF jewelry is easy to care for and has 100x more real gold than plated metals. It is the best alternative to real gold.
