Care Instructions

To preserve the fine settings, enamel work, and rich luster of your 22K gold Puligoru pendant:

1. Wipe Gently: After wearing, wipe gold surfaces and stones with a dry, ultra-soft microfiber cloth to clear away skin oils and dust.

2. Avoid Chemical Cleaners: Do not submerge enamel or multi-stone jewelry in harsh chemical liquids or ultrasonic baths, as this can affect the enamel inlay and settings.

3. Apply Cosmetics First: Always apply hairsprays, perfumes, and lotions before putting on your pendant to protect the gold finish and gemstone brilliance.

4. Separate Storage: Store flat inside a dry, velvet-lined box to protect the dangling zircon drop and claw tips from scratching against other hard jewelry.
