Materials
Sterling Silver (925)
Many of our pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver, meaning they contain 92.5% pure silver combined with other metals to increase strength and durability. Sterling silver is valued for its bright shine and timeless appearance.
Over time, sterling silver may naturally tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, or chemicals, but this can easily be cleaned and restored to its original shine.

Gold-Plated Jewellery
Some pieces feature gold plating, where a thin layer of gold is applied over a base metal. This provides the look of gold jewellery while keeping pieces lightweight and accessible.
To maintain the finish of gold-plated jewellery, extra care should be taken to avoid contact with water, perfumes, and cosmetics.

Nickel Content
Our jewellery is selected with comfort in mind. However, if you have specific metal sensitivities, we recommend checking individual product descriptions or contacting us before purchasing.

Jewellery Care
Taking care of your jewellery will help maintain its shine and extend its life.
Avoid contact with chemicals
Remove jewellery before applying perfumes, lotions, hairspray, or cleaning products.
Remove before water exposure
We recommend removing jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising.
Store properly
Store jewellery in a dry place, ideally in a jewellery box or pouch to minimise exposure to air and moisture.
Avoid scratches
Keep pieces separate from other jewellery to prevent scratching.

Cleaning Your Jewellery
To keep your jewellery looking its best:
- Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals
- For sterling silver pieces, use a silver polishing cloth if tarnish develops
Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the natural shine of your jewellery.
