Care instructions: tagua is a natural, organic material and the undyed products may darken slightly over time, this is normal; if your tagua jewellery is looking a bit dull it can be buffed up with a soft white cotton cloth; although tagua is a fairly hardwearing material, please be aware that if you drop it onto or knock it against a hard surface it could chip; never immerse your tagua jewellery in water as this can cause it to crack; plated jewellery is likely to tarnish over time; if you want to restore the original shine to your jewellery we recommend you clean it with a soft cloth
