// Packaging //
All my products arrive in a small box or an organza bag and inside a bubble envelope, so they are extra protected.

If you are buying for someone special and you want to add a note or wrap your order, I will be happy to do it with no extra cost. Just send me a message or specify it during the check out.

Please note that gold filled is different from gold plated.

Gold filled items must include gold that is at least 1/20th the weight of the entire piece moreover all the gold is on the surface which offers product protection from tarnish and wear.

God plated components are metal components that have received a thin layer of gold covering them. With time and use this layer will change. To maintain it as long as possible please avoid the use of chemicals (shampoos, perfumes, cleaning products...) and the use of traditional jewelry cleaners.

COPPER AND BRASS JEWELRY

Sometimes brass and copper can react with the skin of some people making it to look greenish. This has nothing to do with the quality of the metal and is not a harmful reaction so do not worry if this happens to you.
My rings come with a thin layer of jeweler's wax on the inside to minimize this effect , but please keep in mind that this is not permanent, since it will eventually rub off with use and time.

To maintain your jewelry in good condition as long as possible try to avoid the contact with perfumes, cleaning products and other chemicals.
Avoiding humidity and sweat are also good tips to slow down the tarnishing process, that's why I recommend to storage your jewelry in a dry place.

To clean your metal pieces you can use some warm water and a mild soap.

I hope that these recommendations are helpful, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Metals such as sterling silver, copper and brass tend to tarnish over time. This is a natural process that will dark a little bit the color of your product.
Some people like the rich patina color of tarnished pieces but if you want to get your pieces shiny again you can use a polishing cloth. *Please do not use it with plated metals or oxidized surfaces since it can damage them!.
