These amuletic necklaces are sacred and should be treated with reverence. Before and after wearing, gently wipe them with a soft cloth to maintain their purity. It is recommended to place them on an altar and express gratitude. Though the necklace has been activated and blessed, the wearer must establish a personal connection with the amulet for it to work most effectively. Speak your intentions aloud, infusing the necklace with your energy, purpose, and care.
For those seeking to harness the amulet’s full potential, forming a meaningful connection requires personal dedication—beginning with self-purification and spiritual practices such as fasting and offering tributes to ancestors. Oraciones (specific prayers) are not included with any anting-anting amuletic necklaces, as the process of consecration and activation is unique to each wearer’s spiritual path. Traditional antingeros follow specific protocols, but ultimately, the wearer is guided by their own calling.
Treat the amulet as an ally by "feeding" it prayers and good intentions. Cleanse it energetically from time to time using smoke, holy water, or by anointing it with blessed oil. The anting-anting becomes a part of your spirit and must be respected.
Ultimately, its true power comes from deepening your relationship with the Infinite Source, the Creator of All, which also resides within you.
As these pendants are made of brass, they will naturally develop a patina over time. To maintain their shine, periodically clean them with a soft cloth and a gentle brass cleaner or a natural solution like lemon juice and baking soda. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, sweat, and harsh chemicals, as these can accelerate tarnishing. The patina is meant to be part of the "aged/ancient" jewelry look. However, they can be polished with microfiber cloth and some metal polish.
Gold-plated brass pendants and other gold-plated components, such as beads, clasps, and findings, are resistant to tarnishing for a period of time, and should still be handled with care. To prolong their luster, avoid exposure to water, sweat, and harsh chemicals.
The metals used in these amuletic necklaces will tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and body oils. This oxidation process does not reflect the workmanship of the maker, Katuuran Lyn Pacificar, but rather the inherent nature of the metals. Other metals that may be used in these compositions include gold-colored zinc alloy, gold-colored brass, and silver-plated brass. In general, metals are nickel-free unless indicated otherwise.
Elements such as stones and crystals should also be handled with care. To preserve their beauty and energy, wipe them with a soft cloth and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, or prolonged direct sunlight.
Do not wear any of the amulets if you have allergies to metal. Discontinue use if reaction occurs.
