How to care for your jewellery
Silver and other metals are prone to tarnish, this oxidising process is a natural occurrence but some substances in our daily lives will speed the process up. Anti- Bacterial Gels. soap, hairspray, perfume, food, latex, perspiration and even the natural oils on our hands can tarnish metals more quickly. Some may even find their skin is more reactive with metals and find copper or silver tarnishes very quickly, sometimes within days. If this is the case you could apply a barrier wax or a clear lacquer on the metal surface so that it isn’t in direct contact with the skin.
Silver Tarnish does NOT mean that the silver is faulty or substandard, we do not offer refunds if your jewellery becomes tarnished for ANY reason.
We recommend that you use a good quality jeweller's silver cloth regularly as part of your jewellery cleaning routine for precious metals & we'll include a polishing cloth with your jewellery which you will find useful for removing the cloudy film caused by perfumes etc on silver.
You should always remove jewellery before showering or swimming as metals can react with chemicals and chlorine. Never allow leather to get wet. Wet leather will stay damp inside and deteriorate from within, this will loosen the bond within the clasp and affect the strength and look of the leather. As with all jewellery, straps, links and clasps can be opened or broken if not treated with care. Please check your jewellery carefully when you receive it and contact us within 7 days if it is delivered faulty or damaged. For further information please refer back to our terms and conditions,
What Is Rhodium Plating?. Rhodium is an ultra-expensive precious metal (currently $29k per ounce, Gold is $1.7k) that belongs in the same group of metals as platinum. Rhodium doesn’t tarnish or fade, and it doesn’t corrode. Therefore, to protect sterling silver pieces from tarnishing, a thin layer of rhodium is applied. As a result of the plating, sterling silver is more resistant to wear and friction, and it looks brighter, shinier, and it has a mirror-like finish. Plating of sterling silver with rhodium is done through a process called electroplating. If you would like your silver Rhodium plated please select this option in the drop down boxes.
