Care
Care for Metal: Oxidation is a natural process that may produce tarnish or discoloration. To reduce the effects of oxidation, we suggest limiting contact of your belt buckle or guitar strap buckle with sea water, pool water, perfume and household cleaning products. To remove tarnish, we recommend Cape Cod Polishing Cloths for Fine Metals. These cloths are easy to use and come pre-treated in a re-sealable bag. Please do not use metal polish on leather or harsh metal cleaners, such as Brasso on Sterling Silver.
