<p>Our pieces are crafted from stainless steel with gold plating and are water-resistant. With a little attention and the right routine, they will keep their radiant shine for years to come. Below is the simple process we recommend.</p>
<h2>Step-by-step cleaning guide</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Step 1 — Prepare a gentle bath:</strong> Fill a small bowl with cold water and add a few drops of mild, pH-neutral soap. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, or anything abrasive.</li>
<li><strong>Step 2 — Clean softly:</strong> Dip the piece briefly — do not soak. Gently wipe it with a soft cotton cloth or a very soft brush to remove oils and residue.</li>
<li><strong>Step 3 — Rinse under cold water:</strong> Hold the jewelry under a gentle stream of cold water to rinse away any soap. Keep the water pressure low and avoid prolonged exposure.</li>
<li><strong>Step 4 — Dry immediately:</strong> Pat the piece dry right away with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Make sure every surface is completely dry before storing to avoid tarnish.</li>
<li><strong>Step 5 — Polish to shine:</strong> For an extra glow, gently polish with a microfiber cloth or a jewelry polishing cloth. This restores the warm gold finish without scratching.</li>
