Copper wire jewelry is a popular choice for many people who appreciate its warm color, affordability, and healing properties. However, copper jewelry can tarnish over time due to exposure to oxygen, water, sweat, and skin oils. To keep your copper wire jewelry looking shiny and beautiful, you need to clean it regularly and store it properly. Here are some tips on how to care for copper wire jewelry:

- Use a soft cloth and mild soap to gently wipe your copper wire jewelry after each wear. This will remove any dirt, oil, or residue that can cause tarnish.

- Avoid wearing copper wire jewelry when swimming, showering, or exercising. Water and sweat can accelerate the oxidation process and make your jewelry dull or green.

- Store your copper wire jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. You can use a zip-lock plastic bag or a jewelry box with anti-tarnish paper to prevent air and moisture from reaching your jewelry.

- Polish your copper wire jewelry occasionally with a copper polishing cloth or a DIY solution. You can use lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, or salt to make a natural cleaner that can restore the shine of your copper wire jewelry. However, be careful not to scratch or damage the wire or any gemstones that may be attached to it.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your copper wire jewelry for a long time and benefit from its beauty and healing properties.
