Many of our pieces of jewelry feature natural stones, which may therefore vary in appearance, shape, and color. This is completely normal and makes your jewelry a unique piece.

We primarily use waxed polyester thread, stainless steel beads and findings, and various seed beads.

However, some jewelry also includes raw brass or fine gold-plated brass beads.

Brass is a material that naturally oxidizes and tarnishes when exposed to skin and ambient air. This does not prevent you from wearing your jewelry, but if you want to restore some shine to this alloy, white vinegar diluted in a little water will be a good ally.

Macram'Elo Créations jewelry is handcrafted with waxed polyester thread. Some pieces include natural stones, various beads (freshwater, crystal, seed beads, mother-of-pearl, etc.), stainless steel findings, and sometimes brass:

• You can clean them simply with clear (cold) water or slightly soapy water if needed.
• Gently rub them with your fingers or an old toothbrush.
• Blot them with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much water as possible and let them air dry.
• To restore the shine of the stones, brass, and stainless steel, gently rub them with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

As recommended by major jewelers, jewelry should be the last accessory you put on and the first you take off.

TO AVOID, if you want to keep your jewelry intact for as long as possible:

• Remove your jewelry during sports sessions, as the acidity of your skin can accelerate the oxidation process of certain components.
• Remove them also before taking a shower and doing housework, as beauty products and household cleaners can damage your jewelry over time.
• Remove them also when swimming in the pool or at sea, so your jewelry will be protected from chlorine and salt attack.

These are recommendations, it's up to you to follow them or not, but please note that we will not be held responsible for premature damage to your jewelry if you do not follow the maintenance advice above.
