Jewellery Care
Sterling Silver
We use 925 sterling silver for all of our silver jewellery pieces.
Wear: Did you know that you can avoid tarnish by wearing your jewellery often. The oils in your skin will keep your silver looking shiny.
Shower : It's not the best idea to shower with your jewellery on. If you do wear it in the shower, just make sure to dry it afterwards.
Swimming pools + Hot tubs : Definately avoid! The chemicals (Chlorine) will tarnish your jewellery over time. If you forget, that’s okay! Simply clean with warm soapy water and pat dry afterwards.
Makeup, lotion, perfumes : To avoid getting chemicals on your jewellery which will tarninsh them, remember to put your jewellery on last when getting ready!
DIY Natural silver cleaning tip:
2 parts water to 1 part baking soda:
Stir into a paste. Using an old toothbrush, apply in circular motions. Rinse with warm water then pat dry.
14k Gold Filled
Gold-filled jewellery is hypoallergenic, which is ideal for those who have sensitive skin. Made of approx 5% solid gold, the gold is bonded onto a base layer, which is typically sterling silver. Gold-filled jewellery is safe to wear underwater (unless the water is chlorinated) and is easy to care for.
Here are some tips on how to care for your gold-filled jewellery:
- Polish off your jewellery using your soft polishing cloth which came with your purchase. This will help maintain its shine.
- Avoid perfumes, detergents, and other skincare products.
- Avoid exercising in your jewellery or going into chlorinated pools.
- Rinse with warm water after swiming in the ocean.
How to clean your gold-fill jewellery:
Mix 1-2 drops of dish soap with warm water, whisk until bubbly and soak your pieces for 3-5 minutes. Use a toothbrush to gently clean your piece. Rinse with clean water then pat dry.
