Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. Their natural process is tarnishing. Patina is a part of them and has its charm, but if you prefer to keep your jewelry shiny and free of patina, here are a few tips:

Polish with a dry jewelry cleaning cloth. You can wash the jewelry with soap and water, but make sure to dry them thoroughly afterwards.

Moisture and body sweat can cause the material to darken and stain the skin. The discoloration will not harm you; you can simply wash it off with soap and water.

Oxidation can always be polished away; use brass, bronze, and silver jewelry cleaning products, which are commonly available in drugstores.

If you regularly clean your jewelry and store it in a dry place, its appearance will last. The advantage of brass and bronze over gold-plated jewelry is that their color does not wear off and the surface is relatively scratch-resistant. No matter how significant the oxidation, you can always polish it to a beautiful shine using the right products.

Chains and other jewelry components are usually made of gold-plated stainless steel. Handle them with care, as the gold-plated surface may wear off over time with excessive friction.

Remove jewelry when showering and swimming. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, creams, or cleaning products. Store jewelry in a soft pouch or jewelry box.

Silver has a slight tendency to oxidize, it is its natural process and it is not a defect. Silver is also a relatively soft metal, so it is advisable to follow a few steps to keep the jewelry looking its best.

To keep your jewelry beautiful for many years, follow the advice below.

Avoid moisture: Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or other activities where it could come into contact with water, as prolonged exposure to moisture can cause damage or discoloration of the silver.

Storage : Store jewelry in a dry, closed place, ideally in a soft cloth bag or jewelry box, to prevent scratches and exposure to moisture.

Cleaning : Gently clean the jewelry with a soft cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, use a silver cleaning cloth.

Careful handling: Avoid wearing jewelry during activities that could damage it. Be careful with chains!

Silver has a tendency to oxidize, especially if it is left in an inappropriate place for a long time. Therefore, the best thing to do is to simply wear it :)

How to care for wood:

Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
To refresh the wood surface, apply a small amount of wood oil and gently rub it in the direction of the grain. Avoid excessive wetting of the wood. You can clean the bowls of objects using a brush.

Location of objects:

The location of objects in your home also has a significant impact on their appearance. Objects made of wood and brass do not belong in rooms with high humidity, such as the bathroom. Many people store their jewelry in the bathroom, but this is not suitable for either the jewelry or the objects, as high humidity has an adverse effect on wood, brass, silver and other materials.

How to care for brass:

As with brass jewelry, it is best to clean brass with a product designed for this purpose. Make sure that the product does not come into contact with the wooden part of the object, wipe thoroughly after cleaning, dry and polish with a soft cloth. Brass parts are treated with an antioxidant layer during production, polish them only when oxidation is visible to prevent premature damage to the surface treatment.
