Jewelry Care

The pieces

Each piece of jewelry is carefully handmade from a variety of materials including Plastic, Sterling Silver, Gold vermeil (18t yellow or red gold plated sterling silver), Black Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver, precious and semi-precious stones.

Handling

Please treat your item with care to ensure a long life. Plastic looks indestructible but can be quite delicate, avoid dropping your jewelry or knocking it on a hard surface. For maximum protection, store your jewelry in its original box, and remove it before sleeping, swimming or showering. Perfumes, chlorine, detergents, and oils can all cause tarnishing and damage to the surface finish. Apply scents or cosmetics before you put on any jewelry.

Cleaning

Brighten up your piece by using a soft cleaning cloth. In the case of silver you can buy special silver cleaning solutions which can breathe life in to a piece that has lost shine with wear. Gold-plate may slightly fade over time depending on wear and the amount of care taken. I provide an affordable re-plating service, please contact me for further information.
