Jewelry Care
How do I care for my jewelry?
We recommend gentle care of your jewelry pieces. Your jewelry should be the last thing you put on and first thing you take off when getting dressed.
Take off your jewelry while working out, showering and swimming in the pool or sea.
Keep away from perfume, lotions and cosmetics to avoid any discoloration. Use a soft cloth to clean and shine your piece.
Store your jewelry in a cool and dry place without other metals. We recommend keeping your loved items in a jewelry box or our soft pouch.
How to clean my jewelry?
Use a soft non-abrasive cloth to shine your cherished jewelry pieces.
This will help to prevent discolouring and keep your jewellery looking shiny and beautiful for a long time.
Please note that all metals naturally oxidize with time and require maintenance. Additionally, factors such as the acidity of your skin or the way the jewelry has been taken care of may result in a faster or slower tarnishing process.
