Sterling Silver or 9ct Yellow Gold.
JEWELLERY CARE
Our jewellery is designed to be worn daily and cherished for a lifetime. However, it does require a little love and care to keep it looking its best.
All of our silver jewellery is made with recycled 925 sterling silver. Sterling silver jewellery can tarnish over time. This is a natural process that occurs when the silver reacts with sulphur or hydrogen sulphide in the air. This reaction causes a black or brown discolouration on the surface of the silver. Tarnishing can be accelerated by exposure to humidity, sweat, perfume, cosmetics, cleaning products or other chemicals. Sterling Silver jewellery is less prone to tarnishing when worn because the oils in the skin can help to slow down the tarnishing process.
Solid 9ct gold can tarnish over time, but it is more durable and resistant to tarnishing than silver so you can wear it almost all of the time.
To keep your jewellery looking its best we recommend that you
- Wear it regularly. When not wearing it, keep it in a cool, dry place in a pouch or jewellery box and out of direct sunlight
- Remove it prior to showering, bathing and swimming, exercising and sunbathing
- Avoid it coming into contact with hand sanitiser, make-up, perfume, suncream, hair and body care products and cleaning products. Put your jewellery on once any moisturisers, suncream and perfume have fully absorbed into the skin and do not apply while wearing your jewellery.
- Remove it at any time where it could get knocked, scratched, caught or otherwise damaged, for example during sport or if you have a particularly physical job.
If your jewellery does become tarnished or dirty the best way to clean it is with a polishing cloth.
You can also use a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap to gently clean your jewellery. After cleaning, dry your jewellery thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
