Care Guide

Handling

• Gentle Handling: Although ox horn is a durable material, it is still susceptible to scratches, dents, or cracks if mishandled. Always hold the earrings by the hooks, not by the beads, to reduce the risk of damage.
• Avoid Dropping: Ox horn is prone to chipping or cracking if dropped onto hard surfaces. Store your earrings in a safe place where they won’t be accidentally knocked over or exposed to impact.

Cleaning

• Ox Horn Beads: Clean the ox horn beads with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or oils. If necessary, use a slightly dampened cloth (water only) for more thorough cleaning. Immediately dry the beads with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water from soaking into the material.
• PVD-plated Stainless Steel Hooks: Use a microfiber cloth to gently clean the stainless steel hooks. For more detailed cleaning, wash with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then dry completely to avoid water spots.

Storage

• Safe Storage: Store your Ox Horn Earrings in a soft cloth pouch or padded jewelry box to avoid scratches and pressure on the beads. Keeping them separate from other jewelry items will prevent contact with abrasive materials that could damage the horn.
• Avoid Moisture: Ox horn is sensitive to moisture, which can cause the material to warp or crack. Keep your earrings in a dry place, away from humid environments such as bathrooms, and avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme temperatures.

Chemical Exposure

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your earrings away from chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage the natural ox horn beads and dull the finish of the PVD-plated hooks.
• Swimming and Showering: Remove your Ox Horn Earrings before swimming or showering to prevent damage from water, chlorine, or salt.

Maintenance

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check your earrings for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or chips in the horn beads or fading of the PVD-plated finish on the hooks.
• Polish the Horn Beads: To maintain the shine of the ox horn, gently buff the beads with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the surface of the horn.
• Care for the Hooks: If the stainless steel hooks lose their shine over time, use a microfiber cloth to gently polish them. For more stubborn spots, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used.

By following these care instructions, your Ox Horn Earrings will maintain their natural beauty and the hypoallergenic PVD-plated stainless steel hooks will stay durable, ensuring a long-lasting and comfortable wear.
