Care Guide

Durability

  • Gold-Plated Brass English Lock Lyre Hooks: Elegant and stylish, but the gold plating can wear off over time. Avoid rough handling to prevent scratches.
  • Beads (Semi-Precious Stone, Pearl, Seashell, Artglass, etc.): Durable but can be prone to surface scratches. Handle with care to maintain their luster.
  • Koi Fish Charms (Painted and Plated): The painted charms are delicate, while the plated charms can easily scratch. Both types add unique charm but require gentle handling to avoid damage.

Suitability

  • Casual Wear: These earrings can be worn for casual outings. Be mindful of moisture and abrasive contact to preserve their beauty.
  • Daily Wear: Comfortable for regular use due to hypoallergenic materials. However, limit exposure to water, sweat, and cosmetics to extend the life of the gold plating.
  • Special Occasions: Perfect for special events. The unique koi fish charms and intricate designs add an elegant touch. Handle gently to maintain their pristine condition.

Storage

  • Store in provided lock bags to protect from dust, moisture, and scratches.
  • Keep separate from other jewelry to avoid tangling and potential damage to the plating and delicate charms.
  • Prevent exposure to sunlight, moisture, and chemicals to reduce the risk of color fading and oxidation.

Cleaning

  • Gently wipe with a small microfiber cloth meant for jewelry polishing to remove fingerprints and restore shine.
  • It is fine to clean with water, but ensure thorough drying to prevent oxidation of the findings.
  • Avoid using abrasive or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the gold plating and delicate surfaces.

Additional Tips

  • Be mindful of the large size and intricate design to avoid tangling in hair.
  • Treat the koi fish charms gently, as bending them back and forth can lead to breakage over time.
  • For plated charms prone to fingerprints, breathe on them and wipe off with the polishing cloth provided.
  • Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and household cleaners to maintain the plating and charm finishes.
  • Protect from prolonged exposure to water or humid environments to ensure longevity.
