Handling
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe surfaces. For intricate jewelry, use a mild soap solution and a cotton swab.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the resin to yellow and the embedded crystals to lose their luster.
Handle with care to prevent scratches. Store in a cool, dry place away from sharp edges and high humidity.
