Care Instructions:
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your cross:

• Cleaning: Once a year, gently clean the cross with a dry, soft toothbrush to remove dust from the intricate details.

• Drying: Place it under a lamp (about 30 cm away) for 4-6 hours or in direct sunlight for 3-4 hours during summer.

• Waxing: Use a church candle to apply beeswax to a toothbrush, then brush the cross in sharp, clear motions to renew the protective wax layer.

Avoid exposing the cross to soapy water or harsh chemicals to preserve its natural finish.

This cross is more than just a piece of jewelry—it’s a spiritual companion, crafted with care and reverence. Ideal for personal use or as a meaningful gift.
