Care & Maintenance

The compact Goddess Lakshmi Prosperity and Fortune Gold Idol is crafted from 925 Silver with a gold-toned finish. Handle the sculpture carefully, particularly because its narrow 1-inch width requires secure handling. Hold it from the stronger base or central area and avoid applying pressure to delicate details.

Place the idol on a stable, level surface that can support its 282-gram weight. Keep it away from water, excessive humidity, perfumes, oils, cosmetics, sprays, and household chemicals. Environmental exposure can naturally cause changes to silver over time.

For routine dusting, use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. If polishing is required, use a silver-safe polishing cloth with light pressure. Avoid abrasive materials, rough brushes, harsh chemical cleaners, and excessive rubbing.

Keep the idol away from prolonged direct sunlight and sudden temperature or humidity changes. Avoid locations where it could be knocked over.

For storage, wrap the idol individually in a soft, dry protective cloth and place it inside a sturdy, cushioned box. Do not place hard or heavy objects directly against it.

Gentle handling and suitable storage can help preserve the sculpture's appearance, finish, and intricate craftsmanship for years.
