wear your hand crafted jewelries on cleanse, non greasy skin.
2. Avoid
perfumes and all possible chemicals in contact with your jewelries.

wash your jewelries with mild diluted detergent if necessary. Pad dry with
cotton cloth and leave it air dry for half an hour before sealing it back into an air tight bag.
