Wee Hummingbird Earrings

Hand-hammered brass with sterling silver posts. Nickel and lead free. Dimensions: 0.5 in (1.3 cm) Weight: 0.96 oz (27.22 g) Jewelry Care General - Always remove jewelry and/or hair accessories when washing hands, showering, or swimming. Unfriendly chemicals can cause unpredictable reactions, so put jewellery on last after you have applied perfume or hair product. Brass & Copper - the beauty of these metals is that they can develop a rich patina with wear. Exposure to salt air and water will bring on bits of green patina. To restore to a bright finish we highly recommend cleaning with a paste of citric acid (available in the baking/spice section of most grocery stores), a few drops of dishwashing soap and water. Leave on for ~ a minute, brush, rinse, and repeat as necessary for heavier layers of oxidisation. Sunshine cloths are also a great and easy way to clean your pieces.
