General

Our jewellery is crafted from solid 18ct yellow gold which is a durable precious metal, the following guidelines are to maximise the longevity of your jewellery.

Some gem stones, and pearls in particular, can be affected by heat, strong chemicals, cleaning products and perfumes.  Therefore we recommend removing any items before applying perfume, showering, sunbathing, swimming and using household cleaning products.

We do not recommend wearing jewellery on the beach as the sand can be damage the surface of the stones and metal.

We also advise you do not exercise or sleep in any items of jewellery that are beaded.

Cleaning

Most items with the exception of pearls can be cleaned using a weak solution of warm water and washing up liquid.  Soak the item for a few minutes and brush gently with a soft toothbrush to remove any grease and ingrained dirt.  Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Softer and more porous materials such as pearls, opals and emeralds should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.

Please check with us if in doubt.

Storing

We recommend that all jewellery is stored and transported in its original box (or use a purpose designed jewellery roll if travelling).  Avoid stacking items on top of each other as this can affect any surface finishes and damage delicate materials.

Strung pearls should be kept rolled in a soft cloth. The thread should be checked periodically for signs of wear, please contact us if necessary.
