6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pin does not close securely. | Pin may be bent or clasp mechanism is obstructed. | Gently inspect the pin for bends. If slightly bent, carefully try to straighten it. Ensure no debris is blocking the clasp. If severely damaged, contact customer support. |
| Rhinestones appear dull. | Accumulation of dirt, oils, or residue from cosmetics. | Gently wipe the brooch with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth (water only) followed by immediate drying can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. |
| Brooch feels loose on fabric. | Insufficient fabric secured by the pin, or fabric is too thin. | Ensure the pin passes through a substantial amount of fabric. For very thin fabrics, consider using a small piece of felt or a backing disc behind the fabric to provide more grip. |
