PRODUCT CARE TIPS

While our jewellery is meant to be worn every day, but like most things in life it needs a little TLC along the way. Here are a few tips and tricks you must consider to keep your jewellery looking its sparkly best.

1. Put on your jewellery at last while dressing up.
2. Clean your plated jewellery gently, and don’t rub it.
3.  When not in use, keep your jewellery in a cool dry place.
4. Avoid contact with moisture (perfumes, lotions & other chemicals).
5. Take your jewellery off before showering, exercising, swimming & sleeping.
6. Store separately in a ziplock or microfibre pouches to prevent oxidation of silver.
7. Stone jewellery needs to be worn with extra precautions as it might get scratched or broken. Also, stones could be coloured, coated, treated and enhanced- based on the origin /availability of the stone.

We are committed to producing top-in-industry quality jewellery with a superior plating thickness. However, if your pieces are exposed to the products above, some tarnishing may occur. It may also naturally occur from certain skin’s PH levels.

Know Our Metals 

18kt gold plated sterling silver or gold vermeil  | Our vermeil pieces are made from 925 sterling silver base, plated with a thick gold plating of 18kt micron gold plating. The vermeil plating is 5x thicker than ordinary gold plating and nickel free. Fully fabricated from precious metals to ensure long lasting wear and lustre. To keep your piece looking its best, gently clean with a damp soft cotton cloth after every wear. Please do not use jewellery cleaner or polishing cloths or pads on vermeil pieces. Follow the care instructions above to ensure your jewellery shine lasts forever.

Sterling silver & fine silver | When worn regularly, silver usually retains its brightness. If kept on a dresser for long periods of time unworn, it can tarnish or “grey” (depending on the climate you live in). Exposure to products, salt water, or humidity can also affect this. You can easily rid your silver jewellery of tarnish with a simple polish and cloth. We recommend avoiding interactions with harsh chemicals, wearing your jewellery often to retain its natural silver brightness, and storing pieces in a jewellery box or airtight container when not being worn.
