How do I clean & care for my Hot Spice Jewelry?
Each piece of Hot Spice Jewelry is carefully made by hand and should be cared for gently. To prolong its integrity and prevent tarnish, store your jewelry in a sealed plastic bag or jewelry box after each use. Like most raw metals, your jewelry may take on its own patina. To polish, gently rub with a jewelry polishing cloth to restore its shine.
