CLEANING

HOW DO I CLEAN MY JEWELLERY?

Please read over our cleaning instructions in the link provided.

Cleaning instructions

CAN I WEAR MY JEWELLERY EVERY DAY?

9K GOLD

Yes, you can wear your jewellery daily.

18K GOLD PLATING

Depends.

You can but this will affect the plating. If you wear it every day without taking it off, it may tarnish within 4 months to a year. If you look after it and remove it in water and when touching sunscreens and follow our full care instructions it can last years. If the plating wears off we choose brass as the base for most pieces, this means the item will still appear gold but just dull in lustre. Please note all our chains are 100% recycled sterling silver base, not brass.

925 Sterling silver

Yes. 925 may still tarnish slightly over the years but it is considered safe to wear everyday

Brass

Yes. I believe that brass is better when worn daily and not taken off. Daily wear maintains its lustre from the oils in your skin and day-to-day living. When you take it off, it may oxidise and need polishing. I offer a polishing service, or as a natural alternative, I prefer to use salt and vinegar and rinse with warm water. You can wear brass in the ocean, but it must be rinsed with fresh water and keep it on after rinsing.

SOLD OUT ITEMS

AN ITEM I LIKE IS MARKED ‘SOLD OUT’. DOES THIS MEAN IT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE?

Yes. Once a design is SOLD OUT, it will be discontinued.
