PRODUCT CARE

Each piece of AUDEN jewelry is handcrafted and requires delicate handling. To extend the life of your jewelry we recommend the following:After each wear, gently wipe with a soft cloth and store in a jewelry box. Try to protect jewelry from abrasive surfaces, harsh chemicals, extreme sunlight and temperature. Put jewelry on after using cosmetics, hair spray or perfume to avoid contact with substances that may cause damage. All precious metal jewelry tarnishes naturally when exposed to body oils and other natural elements and thus requires occasional cleaning. Clean jewelry with a soft polishing cloth to help remove light tarnishing.
