Metal Rosary Care

 

Thank you for choosing our beautiful metal beaded rosaries! To ensure your rosary remains as radiant as your faith, please follow these care instructions.

What Causes Tarnishing?

Our gold and rose-gold beaded rosaries are crafted from and plated with a metal alloy that includes copper. This copper component gives the beads their warm, lustrous color. However, copper is prone to tarnishing when exposed to air, moisture, and the natural oils from your skin during use.

Tarnishing is a natural process and doesn't indicate any defect in your rosary. It's simply a chemical reaction that occurs over time, especially with frequent use. This is similar to jewelry that you may wear.

How to Care for Your Rosary

To keep your rosary looking its best:
  • Store it in a dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid exposing it to water or excessive humidity.
  • Clean it regularly using the method described below.

Cleaning Your Rosary

The most effective way to maintain your rosary's luster is by using a jewelry cleaning cloth specifically designed for gold items. We recommend cleaning your rosary every few weeks, or more often if you use it daily.

Steps:

  1. Gently rub each bead with the cleaning cloth.
  2. Pay extra attention to areas that come into frequent contact with your skin.
  3. Polish until the original shine is restored.

This simple process will remove tarnish and restore your rosary to its original beauty.

Additional Tips

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on your rosary, as this could damage the plating that gives the beads their shine and color.
If your rosary becomes very tarnished, you may need to clean it more thoroughly. In this case, we recommend taking it to a professional jeweler.


Don't Stop Praying!

Remember, the patina that develops on your rosary over time can be seen as a beautiful reminder of your faithful devotion and the countless prayers you've offered to God and to Mary. With these simple care instructions, you can easily maintain its original gleam whenever you wish. Don't let this natural wear and tear on your beautiful rosary deter you from persevering in prayer, growing in faith and virtue and helping fight in the war to save souls!
