The natural ozidation process can be slowed by storing your wearable art in an enclosed environment such as a jewelry box or with the anti-tarnish strip in the zip bag included with your purchase. You may restore the shine by rubbing gently with a lint-free cloth or using a mild metal polish. We do not recommend using an ultrasonic cleaner with this piece. It could damage the stone and oxidation. Life can get in the crevices. Your wearable art may be cleaned by gently scrubbing with a toothbrush and dish soap (such as dawn or ivory.) Lay it out on a towel to dry.  You may use a hairdryer to ensure no lingering moisture.  Use caution as the copper can become hot.  Avoid exposing it to acidic environments including water, detergents, lotions, hairspray and deodorants.  Sometimes We Don't Want To Go Green... I wear my copper jewelry next to the skin with out any skin reaction (and I am sensitive to oh so many things.)  Should you experience any greenish tinge, following the above care instructions will usually remedy the occurance. There are some white papers out in cyberland that corrillate deficiencies in vitimin D and/or B12 with an oxidating reaction on skin, i.e. the greenish tinge. It's worth checking out if you experience the phenomenon.
