1. HOW TO CLEAN YOUR JEWELLERY:

We want you to enjoy your jewellery for years to come!

To make sure that your new jewellery remains a stunning piece, please clean it only with lukewarm water and neutral soap, don’t forget to rinse and dry of course!

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to buff away any dirt and debris.

Just like with your car, every precious metal or stone ‘ages’ by wear and tear, and atmospheric conditions, this is the beauty of these type of materials making your jewellery even more unique.

2. HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR JEWELLERY:

• Take your jewellery off if you're involved in any activity which could scratch, knock or damage it. If in any doubt, take it off and keep it safe.
• Take it off when you go to bed.
• Keep it well away from chemicals, especially chlorine. If it does come into contact with chemicals, rinse it in water immediately.
• Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on. Organic gemstones like pearls and opals are particularly vulnerable to acids, even perspiration.
• Store it separately, ideally in a soft-lined box or case, so that your favourite pieces don't tangle, rub or scratch one another. Pearls in particular should be kept separately as they are easily scratched by hard gemstones.
• Make sure chains and necklaces are fastened when storing to avoid tangling.
• Remove jewellery while cooking, cleaning and washing up.
• When storing jewellery, please keep it away from sunlight, excessive heat or damp conditions.

3. HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SILVER PIECE:

A jewel in natural untreated silver, worn even every day with care, will only occasionally need exceptional maintenance, especially if it is delicately cleaned from time to time and put away appropriately.
Normal everyday use and external agents such as atmospheric humidity, temperature, pollution levels, contact with cosmetic products and perspiration may dull the lustre of silver surfaces, or alter the original appearance of the surface finish present in some items.
The phenomenon whereby silver lustre is dulled and the surface becomes darker and more opaque, scientifically known as ""tarnishing"" and commonly called oxidation, is well known in metallurgy.
The extent and speed of this phenomenon cannot be predicted, since they depend on a number of factors.
To keep the oxidation problem under control and reduce it, the general rule is to prevent silver jewels from coming into contact with detergents, creams, fragrances and water, in particular swimming pool water (chlorinated) and sulphur springs, and it is advisable to regularly wipe the jewel surface gently with a soft cloth, being particularly careful with the finish and gemstones, if present.

4. HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GOLD-PLATED JEWELLERY:

• Line a glass bowl with aluminium foil. The shiny side of the foil should be on top in contact with the jewellery. 
• Add one tablespoon of salt and one tablespoon of baking soda to the bowl. 
• The amount of water should be enough to dissolve both powders and fully submerge your gold-plated jewellery.
• Place all pieces in this solution and leave them for 5 minutes at a time. If your jewellery is severely tarnished, you can leave it inside for up to 15 minutes or until flakes start floating on the surface. 
• These flakes are the sulphur that caused the oxidation of the gold layer, and they will be attracted to the foil, floating away from the jewellery.
• Once most of the tarnish has been removed, rub all pieces clean with a soft toothbrush.
• After the gentle scrubbing, wash each piece with lukewarm water and use a soft, lint-free cloth to pat dry.

-

5. HOW TO STORE YOUR JEWELLERY:

Before any jewellery is stored, make sure that it is clean and dry. Moisture can cause the metal to tarnish or degrade much quicker. For instance, if you wore a silver necklace in a rainstorm, be sure to dry it off before putting it back!

Please store your jewellery in the original box provided by us and in a dry place. Should you prefer to store it in a jewellery box together with your other items, we suggest you to store the jewellery in a way that they do not touch each other.

Silver jewellery does best when it’s stored in a jewellery box lined with felt. The felt helps absorb excess moisture and prevent premature tarnishing. Even with proper storage, silver jewellery will require regular cleaning.

Keep pearls inside a wooden box that has a felt lining. Please keep in mind to never store pearls inside a plastic bag or box because plastic can interact with the pearls and cause them to deteriorate.

-

6. SHOWERING WITH YOUR GOLD-PLATED JEWELLERY:

We don’t recommend showering with gold-plated jewellery. The soap and the hard water residue may eat into the gold plating and cause your jewellery to tarnish.

Also, when asked can you swim with gold-plated jewellery, we advise not to wear gold-plated jewellery in water because the chemicals from the pool water or the salt water will make the gold not shine anymore.
