How to Care for your Copper Flyer

For Oxidized Copper: Clean regularly Use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry before and after wearing it. You can also clean it with a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap, and a soft toothbrush to scrub crevices. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For Bright Copper: Baking soda is a great way to restore shine and luster to dull copper jewelry pieces. To clean copper jewelry, baking soda can be used on its own or paired with lemon juice or full-strength white vinegar. To clean with baking soda: Combine three or four tablespoons of baking soda with spritzes of water to form a paste. Store properly Keep your copper jewelry in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or bag. You can also wrap each piece in a soft cloth or use anti-tarnish storage bags. Avoid harsh chemicals Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on copper. Commercial cleaners can damage the copper or any stones set in it. Avoid chlorine Avoid wearing copper jewelry when swimming or in contact with chlorine, which can cause the copper to turn green. Handle with care Clean your jewelry with gentle pressure, especially around intricate designs or delicate settings. Remove green stains If your skin turns green from wearing copper jewelry, wash the area with soap and water. This is a natural process that's not permanent. With proper care, copper jewelry can last a lifetime.
