La Colochina Silver jewelry is handmade and some pieces are more delicate than others. Please wear pieces with care. While built to last, items can still catch on clothing or scratch against hard surfaces.

Oxidation (surface darkening) is a natural process for all silver and brass jewelry and is caused by exposure to water or humidity. Reduce oxidation by storing jewelry in dry, air-tight containers. Avoid storing your pieces in the bathroom. You can also use a silver polishing cloth to remove the tarnish on brass and silver jewelry.

Avoid exposing your items to moisture, sweat, and harsh chemicals like chlorine and lotion that can permanently tarnish metals and damage stones.
