Tips for Caring for Baptism Gifts
To ensure your gifts preserve both their beauty and spiritual value over the years, we recommend following these simple yet essential care tips:
- Avoid contact with chemicals: protect wearable items from perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and household cleaners. These substances may dull gold and oxidize silver, compromising their original shine.
- Clean materials gently: to preserve the brilliance of precious metals, polish them periodically using only a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive materials.
- Use the original packaging: when medals and rosaries are not being worn or used, store them in their original boxes or pouches. This simple habit helps prevent scratches and preserves every precious detail of the craftsmanship.
