Jewelry Care
With a little love, your copper pieces can stay as stunning as the day you first wore them. Copper is a beautiful, natural material that develops character over time, but to maintain its shine—or let it age gracefully—it’s important to follow a few simple care steps. Whether you want to preserve its bright glow or embrace its earthy patina, here’s how to keep your copper pieces looking their best for years to come.
-
Keep It Dry, Keep It Shiny
Copper can tarnish when exposed to moisture. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or hitting the gym.
-
Store Smart
Keep your copper pieces in a cool, dry place. A jewelry box or pouch will help prevent tarnish and scratches.
-
Polish up the Glow
To renew the shine, gently rub your copper jewelry with a polishing cloth or use a simple lemon juice and baking soda mixture to remove tarnish.
-
Avoid the Elements
Skip wearing your copper jewelry in the sun, salty ocean water, or when using lotions, perfumes, and hairspray—they can cause oxidation.
-
Let It Age Gracefully (If You Like)
Over time, copper develops a natural patina, giving it a vintage look. Embrace it if that’s your style, or polish it to restore the shine.
-
Gentle Clean for Everyday Care
Clean your copper jewelry regularly with warm water and a soft cloth. Skip harsh chemicals to keep the metal safe.
