Description | Cinder

Reminiscent of campfires - the gathering of fallen limbs, the gathering of loved ones toward that center abaze. Fire is struck with a match, we embrace around the warm focus, hands extended - our words fall into the center and crackle away, but stay held in our hearts. Memories in this vision.

Care for plated jewelry
Silver and gold naturally tarnish over time with exposure to the environment. It can be cleaned with a silver or gold dip solution and clean dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid contact with water and other liquids. To ensure that tarnishing doesn’t spoil your earrings, apply any perfume and facial products before putting on your earrings.
Brass
Being an alloy it will gradually patina over time with exposure to oxygen and moisture. This effect can be removed with a polish if you prefer a brass cleaner or a dry cloth.

Ingredients you may already have at home can be used too: mix lemon juice and baking soda into a paste, rub onto the surface with a cloth, rinse off with water, and buff dry.
