Clear Images

Not Just Jewelry

[{"selector":"#anim-6fc50a76-49cd-44df-860b-0dfaf074f409","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a30cc0f-50ca-4ccf-95e1-9681d99ed6f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1586.95768%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] It’s not just necklaces and rings, but all metal items need to be removed.
