A cascade of colorful vintage beads makes up these day-to-night Faye shoulder dusters. All Castlecliff Earrings are cast of certified 100% recycled brass via the ancient art of lost wax casting, combined with up-cycled & vintage materials, and finished with a sterling silver post. Castlecliff Jewelry is designed, hand-made and hand-finished in NYC. Due to this process, each piece is unique and any slight variations are a sign of the hands that created it. Our Craft pieces are cast in raw brass in NYC. We avoid the often environmentally toxic process of gold plating whenever possible and therefore many of our pieces will achieve a rich patina with wear. We love the look, but to maintain your piece’s original finish, buff with the enclosed polishing cloth and store in the enclosed anti-tarnish tissue after use.   For a nontoxic deeper clean we suggest applying white vinegar with a soft cloth (a mix of baking soda and lemon juice will also do the trick).   Rinse with warm water and dry immediately.  Avoid contact with stones and hollow beads. As with all costume jewelry, last on and first off is the rule.  Keep your jewelry clean, dry, and away from lotions, chemicals, and perfumes.
