• Minimize water contact: Aluminum is resistant to rust and corrosion, but water can cause oxidation and a dull appearance. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing dishes.

• Cleaning and Polishing (Optional): To maintain the shine of your bright aluminum jewelry, you can use a soft polishing cloth for silver jewelry, or a microfiber cloth, to buff and restore its luster. You can repeat this process every few months, or as needed, to maintain the shine.

• Aluminum Oxide Buildup: Aluminum naturally forms a protective layer (aluminum oxide) upon contact with air. This layer can sometimes appear as a light gray to black residue on skin, most commonly after sweating. Simply remove your jewelry before strenuous activity and store safely. To remove any residue, wash the affected area with mild soap and water. 

• Storage: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent damage. Please keep your Fey's Weave pieces separate from other jewelry to prevent any scratching or damage.

• Chemical exposure: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals like chlorine or bleach, which can damage the aluminum's surface.

• Maintaining the weave: Over time, a jump ring may occasionally come loose or move out of place. If you notice this, don't worry! You can gently push it back into place using your fingers or small pliers.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure your Fey's Weave aluminum jewelry stays beautiful for years to come. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us anytime at thefeysweave@gmail.com ! We're here for you every step of the way!
