Gold-Plated:
- All of our gold chains are plated with a thick layer of 18ct gold over a brass base. They are plated with a gold thickness of 1/4 microns, making our chains strong and durable.
- Our gold charms are plated with 18ct gold over a 925 sterling silver base.
- Our gold discs are 14ct gold fill
- Our gold gemstones are plated in gold onto a brass electro base.
Silver:

Pearls:
Our pearls are grown beneath the water’s surface, the same way as a natural pearl forms. Although our pearls are farmed, they still have the same properties as natural pearl, with the added benefit of being sustainable. Each pearl is completely one of a kind in shape, size, character and lustre.
Care Instructions:
Sterling Silver and Gold-plated jewellery can oxidise when exposed to air, humidity, sweat, perfume, cosmetics or other chemicals and is therefore prone to tarnishing over time.
Pearls are susceptible to damage if exposed to humidity, sweat, perfumes, cosmetics or other chemicals.
In order to ensure the longevity of your Decadorn pieces we recommend the following precautions:
- Avoid contact with water. Remove your jewellery prior to showering, bathing and swimming.
- Avoid contact with sweat. Remove your jewellery prior to exercising.
- Avoid contact with hand sanitiser, make-up, perfume, suncream, hair and body care 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. Your jewellery should be the last thing you put in the morning and the first thing you take off at night.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. We recommend removing jewellery while sunbathing and not leaving your jewellery in direct sunlight when not being worn.
- Avoid sleeping in your jewellery.
- Remove your jewellery 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.
All of our jewellery can be cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth. Our 925 sterling silver jewellery can be cleaned in a silver cleaning solution or with a Silver cloth. If you use a silver cleaning solution you must remember to remove the gemstone beforehand and ensure your jewellery is fully dried afterwards with a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth. We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths which have inbuilt cleaners or polishing agents.
