Tips for Wearing Copper Rings
1. Avoid Contact with Water
• Copper oxidizes easily when exposed to water, forming green patina (copper rust). Avoid wearing your copper ring while washing hands, bathing, or swimming.
• If it gets wet, gently dry it with a soft cloth.
2. Avoid Contact with Chemicals
• Keep your ring away from cosmetics, perfumes, cleaning agents, and other chemicals, as they can accelerate oxidation.
• Wear the ring after applying makeup or skincare products.
3. Avoid Humid Environments
• Humidity speeds up copper oxidation. When not wearing the ring, store it in a dry place.
4. Be Careful to Avoid Scratches
• Copper is a soft metal and can be easily scratched or deformed. Avoid bumping it against hard surfaces.
Care and Maintenance
1. Cleaning
• Wash the ring with warm water and mild soap, then dry it with a soft cloth.
• Regularly polish it with a soft polishing cloth to restore its shine.
2. Removing Tarnish or Patina
• Mix lemon juice with baking soda into a paste and gently rub the ring, then rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
• Alternatively, soak the ring in white vinegar for a few minutes, then wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
3. Apply a Protective Coating
• You can apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to the surface of the ring to create a protective barrier and reduce oxidation.
4. Proper Storage
• When not in use, store the ring in a sealed bag (like an anti-oxidation bag) to keep it away from moisture and air.
