PRESERVING THE LEGACY: CARE & CHARACTER 

At HODHOD CREATIONS, we build for longevity. Our materials are chosen for their raw strength and their ability to age with character. To ensure your piece remains a lifelong companion, follow these simple care guidelines:  

MARINE-GRADE STAINLESS STEEL (THE TITAN SERIES) 

This is your most resilient piece. It is immune to rust, salt water, and the elements.

• Care: No specialized cleaning is required. Our signature 316L steel is engineered to remain flawless through every journey.

• Polishing: Simply wipe with a soft microfiber cloth to restore its mirror-like brilliance. Its strength is its own protection.

PURE COPPER & ARTISANAL BRASS (THE AEON SERIES & GILDED HERITAGE) 

These are "Living Metals." Unlike mass-produced plated jewelry, these pieces will breathe and evolve with you over time.

• The Patina: Over time, your piece will develop a deep, earthy character. This is not a defect; it is the metal’s unique history.

• To Restore the Glow: If you prefer the original raw brilliance, use a specialized metal polish or a natural mixture of lemon juice and salt. Rub gently, rinse, and dry thoroughly to reveal the fire within the metal.

• Skin Contact: Because these are pure, untreated metals, they may occasionally leave a faint green mark on the skin. This is a natural reaction to the metal's purity and is completely harmless; it can be easily washed away. 

Leather & Mixed Media

To maintain the suppleness and strength of the leather elements in your design:

• Immersion: Avoid prolonged contact with water. If it gets wet, pat it dry immediately and allow it to air dry naturally away from high heat.

• Conditioning: A small amount of natural leather conditioner once a year will keep the fibers strong and prevent cracking.

General Care

• Avoid Chemicals: While our metals are tough, harsh household chemicals (like bleach) can dull the finish.

• The Perfect Fit: Our cuffs are designed to be slightly adjustable. When putting them on, slide them over the thinnest part of your wrist rather than repeatedly bending the metal, which preserves the structural integrity over many years.
