Please note that the copper is unsealed, left bare just like the crystal for a natural feel and connection. Thus, like all metals, it will naturally darken over time. This is completely normal, even sealed copper will eventually lose its seal and tarnish.

To prolong the copper’s brightness, avoid contact with lotions, oils, perfumes, and other chemicals. It is best to avoid soaking in water as well, as minerals in the water can interact with the copper and also darken it.

To brighten tarnished copper, just give it a gentle rub with extra fine steel wool or the rough side of a sponge. You could also scrub the areas you would like to keep bright with a mixture of salt + lemon or use a polishing cloth made for jewelry.
