Bark Pendant – Small brass piece of bark and silver wet ground

All jewelry is handmade, so there may be some variation in shape, color or size. Therefore, they should not be considered as defects, but as a part of the artisanal production process.

Even if jewelry is made with top quality materials, the passage of time and wear and tear can damage it. Gold is a very resistant material over time and does not oxidize. However, in the case of silver, it is possible that they will darken over time.

This does not mean that it is of poor quality, quite the contrary.

Factors that can influence the oxidation of silver:

skin pH. Sweat is one of the factors that can affect silver the most, so depending on each person the oxidation will be different. Especially in the summer, your jewelry may get tarnished or tarnished very quickly. However, you can always clean them and restore them to their original appearance.

The humidity of the environment. Avoid leaving your jewelry in places with excessive humidity, such as the bathroom. Whenever you wet a piece of jewelry, try to dry it well. Try to store them separately to avoid scratches.

The perfumes. Always try to avoid applying perfume or cosmetics on the jewelry.

Cleaning products. Do not touch cleaning products with the jewelry.

How to clean my silver jewelry:
Wet the piece with water and apply baking soda on top. You will see that it forms like a pasty solution. Rub the garment with this and watch it return to its original state. Afterwards, make sure to dry the jewelry well

For designs that incorporate oxidized silver:
In these cases, what we don't want is precisely to remove the oxidation of the silver, therefore, we will clean it with water, neutral soap and a soft-bristled brush. Wiping it with a fine cotton cloth so that it is completely dry.
