Guardian Ornament

Each Vida + Luz piece is handmade, making it wonderfully unique. Natural materials, like driftwood and brass, can have slight variations from piece to piece. Please note that brass will naturally tarnish over time; we recommend using Rolite Metal Polishing Cream (available here) to bring back its shine.

Important Note: Both the wood and brass are untreated, meaning they haven’t been lacquered, stained, or finished. For this reason, we don’t advise placing mobiles or wall hangings outdoors for extended periods.

Hanging Your Mobile

For a secure hanging setup, we suggest visiting your local hardware store for advice on ceiling hooks and sturdy hanging materials, like heavy-duty twine, fishing line, chain, or wire rope with crimping. We offer a 6-foot wire rope with crimping for purchase [here].

Safety Reminder: Always hang your piece out of reach of children and pets.

Refunds & Exchanges

We want you to love your purchase! If you’re not fully satisfied, we offer store credit for returns made within two weeks.

Our pieces are crafted with natural driftwood and raw brass elements. Over time, brass may oxidize and develop a patina; this is natural but can be polished if desired. To preserve your piece, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture and store it carefully.

We’re pleased to offer repairs for a nominal fee, covering shipping, materials, and labor at $60/hour (most repairs are quick and cost around $20).
