How to maintain it?
Just like silver, this metal can oxidize upon contact with the skin or simply with oxygen in the ambient air.
To avoid this phenomenon, we advise you to:
-
Do not spray perfume or other sprays while wearing your jewelry. Wear your jewelry after spraying your perfume so that the chemicals on the spray or perfume do not interact with the metal of your jewelry.
- Wipe your jewelry after wearing it with a chamois or soft cloth, store it individually in its Paris Flavor case or pouch.
- Avoid humid atmospheres and any contact with water
-
Substances like oil, nail polish remover, chlorine, perfumes, etc. can react with jewelry and cause it to tarnish easily. This also goes with sweating, so make sure you remember to remove your jewelry when working out or doing anything that might require strenuous physical labor, as well as when swimming.
-
Check your jewelry regularly for signs of dirt and wear. You can revive its color by cleaning it with a special brass or copper product.
