The brass and copper used in our jewellery can be polished to maintain their stunning shine or allowed to naturally grow in character developing a rich hue. For polishing, use a small amount of brass polish with a soft cloth. Avoid wooden inlays where possible and be gentle with copper inlays as it is a surface finish. Finish piece with an all over coat of renaissance wax. To decelerate tarnishing, store in the box provided and avoid contact with water, creams and perfume.
