Jewelry Care Guide

Handmade With Care

Every piece from Black Wolf Curiosities is created entirely by hand. Because no two pieces are exactly alike, each one deserves a little extra care to help it stay beautiful for years to come.

Handle With Care

These creations are art & jewelry, not toys. Please handle them gently and avoid dropping, pulling, or bending the wire. While they’re made to be enjoyed, they are delicate handcrafted pieces.

Copper & Natural Patina

If your piece contains bare copper, it will naturally develop a darker patina over time. This is a normal part of copper’s character and not a defect.

If you prefer the brighter copper finish, it can be gently restored using a jewelry or metal polishing cloth. These are inexpensive and can usually be found at most hardware stores for under $10.

Storage

When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a jewelry box, pouch, or another safe location. Proper storage helps protect gemstones from scratches and prevents wire from being accidentally bent or damaged.

Cleaning

Most pieces only need occasional gentle cleaning.

  • Lightly dust with a soft cloth or brush.

  • If needed, wipe carefully with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

  • Dry thoroughly before storing.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged soaking, as these can damage both the wire and certain gemstones.

Returns & Repairs

Returns are accepted only if your item arrives damaged during shipping. Please contact me as soon as possible and include photos of both the item and the packaging.

Repairs may be available on a case-by-case basis and are offered at my discretion. If something happens to your piece, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll always do my best to help whenever possible.

Thank you for supporting handmade art. Every purchase helps support a small artist, and I’m honored that one of my creations has found a home with you. ❤️

About Copper

Many of my creations feature genuine copper wire, which naturally develops a beautiful patina over time. Depending on humidity, skin chemistry, sunlight, and other environmental conditions, copper can darken or take on a variety of rich natural tones. Pictured above is my personal piece with its natural patina. I’ve worn this piece for nearly 10 years. 💙

Some designs also use tarnish-resistant coated wire or copper-core wire for added durability or to achieve specific colors.
