ARCHIVE — DAD PENDANT

Bronze first: Our bronze is a solid copper + tin alloy, lead free. Copper can react with the natural acids, sweat, and moisture in your skin. Some people may see a harmless green or blue mark. Others never do. It can even vary day to day based on humidity, activity, or hydration. This is normal and not a quality issue.

Tarnish & patina: Bronze darkens over time, just like sterling silver. That "dirty" look is natural oxidation (patina), not damage. A quick polish brings back a warm glow similar to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost. The trade off is a bit of maintenance.

Quick prevention tips:

• Remove before washing hands, swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.

• Dry well after wear.

• Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or jewelry wax to the inside that touches skin if you are sensitive.

• Polish as needed with a treated jewelry cloth or gentle metal polish.

Want a lower-maintenance option? Many styles are also available in sterling silver or gold. Contact us and we will help you swap or upgrade.

General care for all MIMOSA jewelry:

• Check prongs that hold stones from time to time.

• If a hinge, clasp, or bracelet feels loose, please bring it in.

• Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaning products.

• Store dry in your cloth MIMOSA bag or a jewelry box when not wearing.

Professional care: We are happy to clean and check your piece anytime. Once a year is a good habit.
