I’m a retired hippie..... livin' the dream of being a creating artist and loving every minute of it. (Actually I’m a retired art teacher.) Inspired by the ocean and sky, every day is an adventure on the Texas coast.

Caring for Metal Jewelry
Store your silver, brass, copper, or bronze jewelry in a ziplock bag or polishing cloth and in a cool, dry place.
Cleaning: Polishing cloths are an excellent choice. Avoid toothpaste & other abrasives. Metals develop a patina, a kind of glow combined with darkened area. If you like the look, leave it alone. If you prefer a bright look, use a polishing cloth.
Some metals, such as copper and brass, may tarnish and leave a greenish tinge on your skin. To retard this, Beachcomber bracelets and rings made of these metals are coated on the inside with 2 coats of neutral shoe wax. When it wears off, just apply more. The front side of all pieces have been polished with a cream silver polish and buffed with a polishing cloth.
