All of our products are handmade and therefore can be vulnerable to absorbing dirt. We recommend that you keep your jewellery away from extreme temperatures, humidity and sunlight. Although gold plated jewelry will not tarnish, it will get dirty. Protect your layer of gold and extend it’s shine by periodically cleaning each piece and avoiding substances. We recommend removing your jewelry when bathing in freshwater, sea water and chlorinated water. Avoid spraying perfume, applying creams or any other liquids directly onto your jewellery. Protect your jewelry by individually storing each piece in a pouch to help avoid breakage, scratching or tangling.
