Caring For Your Jewelry by the C. Millen Collection

How to Care for Brass Jewelry

Brass jewelry carries a natural warmth and ancient beauty, but like all sacred adornments, it thrives with a little extra care. Over time, brass can develop a patina—a darkening or oxidation that many find beautiful—but if you prefer a brighter shine, simply polish your piece gently with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a natural paste of lemon juice and baking soda or soak briefly in a vinegar and water solution, then dry thoroughly.

To keep your brass looking its best, avoid wearing it while swimming, bathing, or applying lotions and oils. Store it in a dry space, preferably in a fabric-lined box or pouch, to prevent moisture buildup. With love and mindful handling, your brass jewelry will age gracefully, embodying both style and spirit.

 How to Care for Wire-Wrapped Crystal Jewelry

Your wire-wrapped crystal jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's a wearable talisman. Each piece is crafted with care and energetic intention, so preserving both its physical and spiritual integrity is essential. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfume, or body oils, as these can tarnish the wire and dull the shine of your stones.

To cleanse your crystal energetically, opt for gentle methods like smoke cleansing with sage or palo santo, or resting your piece on a bed of selenite. Physically, a soft cloth will do the trick to remove fingerprints and keep your jewelry radiant. Store it mindfully to prevent tangling or scratching, especially with delicate stones or intricate wraps. Treat it like the sacred tool it is, and it will continue to hold and amplify your intentions.

How to Care for Clay Earrings

Our handcrafted clay earrings are lightweight, vibrant, and uniquely expressive—made to reflect your divine essence. To keep them looking their best, avoid getting them wet, as clay is porous and can absorb moisture over time. Store your earrings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed, and avoid using harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners. Be mindful of dropping them or placing heavy items on top, as the material can break under pressure. With intentional care, your clay earrings will remain bold, beautiful, and full of energy for many wears to come.
