Keep away from water, perfume, hairspray and cosmetics to avoid discoloration and damage to feathers. Store in a dry, sealed jewelry box or pouch when not in use to prevent dust and moisture. Do not pull or bend feathers and metal parts forcefully; handle with gentle care. Clean lightly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to remove dust; do not wash or soak. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperature to prevent fading and brittleness. This brooch is for decorative use only, not suitable for children under 12 years old.
