Kauri Gum Care Instructions -
What you have here is the fossilized resin of the Kauri Tree, a rare piece of history from Kauri Trees long gone.
It’s an amber not a stone so:
- Keep it free from solvents eg. perfume
- No extreme heat eg. dash of the car in summer
- Not intended for everyday use eg. sports
- Can be rejuvenated using olive oil in case of fading
A soft cloth can be used as a buffer (Using sideways, not circular motions) to maintain the gum’s original shine.
Treat your piece as a precious gem and it will last forever.
