Care Instructions: Don't wear your metal jewelry in the shower or swimming. Water can be very harsh on metals. Also, avoid storing brass and gold-plated jewelry in the bathroom or humid environments. Humidity is very bad for metals and will cause them to tarnish.  To Store your metal jewelry, wrap each piece in soft fabric. Try to store each piece separately so that different materials don't scratch each other. To clean your jewelry, we suggest using brass or metal polish with a cotton cloth. Alternatively, mild soap and water works too.  Wipe and dry your jewelry after cleaning.
