Sterling Silver Jewellery Care

• Wear Regularly: Believe it or not, wearing sterling silver helps prevent tarnish — natural oils from your skin keep it shining.

• Avoid Chemicals: Keep silver away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning products, as they can cause discoloration.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Use an airtight pouch or anti-tarnish bag to minimize exposure to air and moisture.

• Cleaning: Gently polish with a soft silver polishing cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

• What to Avoid: Do not use abrasive materials or harsh cleaners — they can scratch the surface.
  
  

Gold Vermeil Jewellery Care

• What is Vermeil? Not to be confused with regular gold plating, our vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a thick layer of 18k solid gold on sterling silver. It lasts longer than regular gold plating and provides the look and feel of gold jewellery at a fraction of the price.

• Natural Tarnish: Vermeil will naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to environmental factors like air pollution, moisture, and items that contain sulfur. However, it is easy to restore the shine of gold vermeil jewellery with proper care and maintenance.

• Gentle Handling: Vermeil is more delicate than solid gold. Avoid friction with other jewellery or hard surfaces that may wear down the gold layer.

• Keep Dry: Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercising, as water and sweat can speed up fading.

• Last On, First Off: Put on jewellery after applying perfume, lotion, or makeup, and remove it before bed.

• Storage: Store in a safe, dry place — such as an anti-tarnish pouch or case — with the anti-tarnish strip that came with your purchase. This will help to protect your pieces when they are not being worn.

• Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid polishing cloths with chemicals, as they can strip the gold.
