Preserving Your Heritage Jewellery
To maintain the pristine condition of your Rockodi belt, always handle it with care. After each performance or wear, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or moisture. Store it securely in an airtight box, preferably wrapped in soft cotton or tissue paper, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
