Our plated jewellery is made by covering a base metal (usually sterling silver) with a layer of 9K or 14k Gold.
Lightly wipe your plated jewellery with a soft jewellery cloth to gently restore shine. This will help eliminate any dirt or dust from accumulating on the surface and wearing away the plated layer.
To limit tarnishing;
Gold plated jewellery is best suited for occasional wear, and are a good choice for customers looking for affordable, yet high quality pieces. We recommend frequently rotating your jewellery pieces to reduce the amount of wear and tear.
With proper care, vermeil plating can last longer than gold plated jewellery. Our vermeil plating is from 2 - 2.5 microns, which is thicker than our gold plated jewellery.The base for gold vermeil jewellery is 925 silver. We still recommend our customers follow the same care guidelines as our gold plated jewellery to maintain the lustre/shine of your piece, as well as the plating.
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling Silver pieces will be stamped with 925. As with any metal, Sterling Silver can and will most likely tarnish over time.
Tarnish is completely normal - so do polish your piece regularly. The most common and effective way to polish sterling silver is to use a polish cloth. Gently polish the surface making long, straight strokes. Store your silver in a cool, dry place, preferably in a bag or tarnish preventative pouch or box.
Silver jewellery can be suitable for daily wear, but it's a good idea to take off your silver pieces before any activity that could cause damage and we recommend removing your jewellery before swimming in the ocean or pool, bathing or intense exercise.
Our natural opal, turquoise & pearl jewellery requires a little more care and carefulness than our other gemstone jewels.
All 3 of these gems are considered to be soft stones and as such they can be more easily scratched so please take care to remove when you doing physical activities.
As the majority of our turquoise, opal & pearl pendants are peg bail set you will need to remove them before swimming in a pool or the ocean, showering/bathing or doing intense physical exercise as this could damage the setting and the stone.
Please be careful with any cosmetic chemical around natural gems as they can damage the surface and cause discolouration.
Please store on a soft cloth. Dropping your gemstone jewellery can result in stones becoming loose or chipping.
Much of our jewellery is handmade with natural, ethically sourced gemstones. To care for your natural gemstone jewellery;
