Care instructions
Although the dried fibre goes through a several-step process to make them sturdy and durable, yet due to the delicate structure of the cactus skeleton this jewellery is required to be treated with care. If you do so, you will be able to enjoy wearing your unique natural jewellery for long-long time.
We recommend not to wear them in the bath, shower, rain, or during swimming, sleeping, and exercise.
Please avoid hitting the pendant with a force, because although the cactus fibre is treated to make it sturdy, yet it’s still breakable if force or pressure is applied.
The brass hook is hardened, so it retains its shape well, but since it is a relatively thin material, please be careful, do not put too much force on it as it could be bended if it gets too much pressure.
Please store them in a dry place. If the humidity level in your home is high, we recommend storing them in a closed jewellery box, or the packaging box we provide with each purchase.
For any kind of transportation – like when travelling for a holiday – we also recommend you use the original box of the jewellery, as it offers a safe protection for them.
Cleaning:
Pendant can be cleaned gently with a soft brush, withouth use of water, or a microfibre cloth, slightly damp if needed, then pat dry with a dry soft cloth very gently.
Cleaning of metal parts of earrings: if needed, you can gently and carefully clean the metal parts with a toothbrush dipped in lukewarm soapy water, but please avoid soaking the cactus fibre pendant. Then pat dry the cleaned parts. To remove tarnish from the metal parts you can soak them in ketchup in a way that the pendant is not put in the ketchup (you can lay the earrings flat on a plate, and put ketchup on the metal parts, leaving the pendant clean). Leave it like this for about 30 minutes, then brush it with a toothbrush, and rinse it under lukewarm water, with the help of a toothbrush if needed, without soaking the pendant. Then pat dry with a soft cloth.
