Metals & Care Guide

To extend the longevity of your pieces we recommend they stay away from perfumes, lotions and other chemicals which could damage the silver.

All our pieces have hand-set stones and therefore should be cared for accordingly.

Some of our pieces are 18k yellow gold plated or platinum plated (rhodium plated). This plating will eventually wear away, to avoid this we recommend to not wear the jewellery during any sport or activity which involves handy work.

Silver is an extremely malleable metal meaning that it bends super easily (only negative aspect of silver). If you see your ring start to bend out of shape we recommend you gently try to bend it back into position as this also can cause the prongs holding the stones in place to open. 

We recommend you frequently clean your pieces with a jewellery cloth or soft tissue to remove any built up residue to make sure they remain a beautiful silver colour for years to come.

If your stones become cloudy due to a build up of sweat and lotions place the jewellery in a tub of luke warm water with a drop of dish soap and give them a gentle brush. A soft-bristle toothbrush is usually great for this!

Cubic Zirconia is the ultimate diamond alternative, a high grade CZ AAA stone shares many of the same qualities of a diamond, producing more flashes of colour and sparkle than its expensive sister! CZ stones are more ethical and of course a less expensive alternative.

Platinum or Gold 18K Plating is used to enhance the durability of sterling silver. It is a rare precious material which can be 10-25x more expensive than gold, the particular platinum plating we use is rhodium. Most of our jewellery is plated to protect the silver from scratches and wear.

Stainless Steel  is a great material for jewelry because it's strong, durable, and hypoallergenic. It doesn't tarnish or rust like other metals, so there's no need to worry about your jewelry turning colors or falling apart on you. Even though stainless steel is extremely sturdy, it still needs to be cared for in order to keep looking great and lasting longer.

Simulant Diamonds also known as diamond alternatives, are stones created in a lab to mimic—or simulate—the look and feel of a mined diamond. These can be made out of various materials, and in most cases, they do not have the same chemical composition as a mined diamond. Given the cost of mined diamonds, seeking to imitate the sparkle and shine of a true natural diamond has led to centuries-long efforts by people looking for a diamond imitation.
