Our copper jewelry is a beautiful and unique addition to any wardrobe, but it can also require a bit of maintenance to keep it looking its best. Here are some tips for cleaning and maintaining your copper jewelry to ensure it stays shiny and beautiful for years to come.

The first step in cleaning copper jewelry is to gather your supplies. You will need:

  • a soft cloth
  • warm water
  • mild dish soap
  • a small soft-bristled brush.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can scratch the surface of the copper and damage the finish.
To begin cleaning your copper jewelry, mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl. Dip the soft cloth into the soapy water and wring it out until it is just damp. Gently rub the cloth over the surface of the copper jewelry, using circular motions to loosen any dirt or grime.

If your copper jewelry has any intricate details or hard-to-reach areas, use the small soft-bristled brush to gently scrub those areas. Be sure to use a gentle touch and avoid applying too much pressure, as this can also cause scratches.
Once you have thoroughly cleaned your copper jewelry, rinse it off with warm water to remove any soap residue. Gently pat the jewelry dry with a soft cloth, and then allow it to air dry completely before storing it away.

To help prevent tarnishing and keep your copper jewelry looking its best, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Store your copper jewelry in a cool, dry place, and avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
It is also a good idea to regularly polish your copper jewelry to restore its shine. To do this, you can use a commercial copper polish, or make your own by mixing equal parts lemon juice and salt. Apply the polish to a soft cloth and rub it over the surface of the copper jewelry, using circular motions. Rinse the jewelry with warm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
By following these simple steps, you can easily clean and maintain your copper jewelry and keep it looking beautiful for years to come. With a little bit of care and attention, your copper jewelry can be a treasured part of your wardrobe for many years to come.
