Can I wear it every day, and how should I care for it?

Yes, this pendant is intended to fit naturally into an everyday wardrobe and can be worn near the chest as a personal keepsake. The main risk is physical impact. The product description specifically notes that engraved mineral pieces can chip if dropped, so take the pendant off before activities where it might strike hard surfaces — heavy work, gardening, contact sports, or rough handling.

For cleaning, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If you prefer a slightly damp cloth, wipe the stone and dry it immediately. Avoid jewellery cleaning solutions, ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, and abrasive pads; they are designed for metals or harder gemstones and can damage the stone's surface or make the engraving look dull.

Keep the pendant away from perfumes, hairspray, lotions, and household chemicals, because these can leave residue on dark stones. It is also a good idea not to wear it while swimming or in the shower: soap residue and chlorine can build up and dull the finish over time.

When you are not wearing it, store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewellery box. The engraving is part of the design, so it should be protected from contact with metal chains or other hard items. Shungite is not perishable, but it is not indestructible. With normal everyday wear and simple dry cleaning, this type of pendant should keep its appearance for a long time.
