Handle with care: The glass on your Living Lockets is fragile + can break. Handle with grace + caution.

Avoid water: Always remove your jewelry before entering water. Living Lockets are not waterproof.

Polish: Our jewelry is made with real metals + will naturally tarnish with time. To keep it looking as good as new, gently run all pieces with dry polishing cloth in a circular motion until shine is restored.

Remove: Take off your jewelry when using harsh chemicals, applying beauty products or entering extreme heat or cold.
