FACTS ABOUT THE STERLING SILVER COLLECTION

Your jewellery is made of 925 sterling silver and all pieces have a surface treatment. These surface treatments will fade over time because of contact with clothes, hard surfaces, sweat, perfume, hairspray, air pollution and others.
The black,gold and rose’ oxidised layer fades with everyday or very frequent wear. The gold plating is 2-3 layers of 22 carat gold that gradually wears off, giving the appearance that it has faded.
Everyday or very frequent wear, may speed up this process, especially on items like rings and bracelets, which have more frequent contact with surfaces.

PRODUCT CARE

When you’re not wearing your jewellery you should keep them in a safe and secure place, like your bedroom.
Do not keep your jewellery in the bathroom because all of the moisture from your shower and sink will make the sterling silver pieces tarnish extra quickly. Jewellery boxes are a great place to keep your jewellery, but you should keep in mind that it does not protect the sterling silver pieces from tarnishing and oxidation.
Avoid direct contact with water and chemical products e.g. soap, perfume, abrasive products.
Do not wear jewellery when in the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna/steam room or while bathing or showering.
Chlorine, detergents, oils, moisturisers & perfumes can all cause tarnishing and damage.
Remove jewellery when doing household tasks.
Avoid impact with hard surfaces as much as possible.
Make-up, perfume & hairspray all contain chemicals, which may dull the finish of your jewellery.
Gently wipe jewellery clean with a soft cloth after each wear to remove make up and oils (from skin).

REMEMBER

The gold plating must get a new gold layer on when needed, and it is advised to check locks and clasps for firmness.
