Please note: manufacturing faults do not include general wear and tear (including bent out of shape rings), tarnishing, damaged gemstones or pearls, broken chains, or plating that has worn off.

All of our jewellery is hand-made, and so it needs to be looked after carefully. By following these instructions, your jewellery should last a lifetime.

• Avoid contact with any water, perfume, hairspray, creams, and household chemicals.
• Store in a protective box or pouch, and keep pieces apart so they don't rub together. Add a piece or chalk or a silica packet to absorb moisture.
• Do not wear gold-plated or pearl jewellery to bed or on a day-to-day basis. Our plating is some of the highest quality you'll find, but all plating will wear naturally over time.
• We recommend that each time you put on your necklace to pinch closed the handmade clasp to help keep the tension.

Cleaning instructions:

• Sterling silver — To renew its shine, rub with a soft polishing cloth. Do not use silver dips as it will clean away the blackened oxidised finish.
• 22k gold plate — Clean gently in a mild non-abrasive dishwashing liquid diluted in water, or try a squirt of Windex on a soft, non-abrasive cloth. We do not recommend using a polish cloth, paste, or strong jewellery cleaner. Throughly dry your jewellery after any exposure to water.
• 9k gold — Our solid gold pieces can be worn daily and do not require too much care. Clean with a soft brush and warm water.
