Care Instructions
All our jewellery is made from either Sterling Silver, 18ct Gold Vermeil, 9ct Solid Gold or 14ct Solid Gold. As these are precious metals they won’t ‘rust’ like costume jewellery, they aren’t going to leave a weird green mark and they have serious longevity – especially with our care tips.
Solid Gold is like the superhero of metals—tough, shiny, and is unlikely to tarnish, making it perfect for everyday wear. To keep your gold jewellery sparkling like new, give it a regular clean. Grab a soft, lint-free cloth or, for extra sparkle power, a gold polishing cloth. With just a little TLC, your gold will sparkle like it’s brand new!
Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place. Our free jewellery pouches (which come with every order) are perfect for this.
We would recommend removing jewellery when exercising and when you can avoid it coming into contact with liquids and chemicals. Showering, the sea, the pool, cleaning, can all dull the colour of your jewellery.

Know Your Metals
It can be confusing in the world of jewellery to know what metal is best for you and what it's made of, so we thought we'd break down the only three metal types that all of our jewellery is made from. Plus some handy hints and tips for keeping your jewellery looking fresh and lasting for years to come.
9ct Solid Gold
Gold has different purity depending on the carat, so 24ct gold is pure gold which is a very soft metal and not durable for jewellery. Our 9ct Solid Gold is 37.5% gold, then 62.5% of a different metal such as copper or silver to strengthen it or give it colour - ours is all nickel, lead and cadmium free. Our 9ct Solid Gold will have a tiny 375 stamp on it.
18ct Gold Vermeil (pronounced ver-may)
What makes vermeil special? Firstly, you have to plate over a base metal of Sterling Silver (no costume or vague base metals), plus to be approved vermeil instead of regular gold plate, it needs to be plated to a minimum of 2.5 microns thick, we plate our pieces to 3 microns for an extra luxurious finish.
Gold Vermeil jewellery will look like gold but have the 925 stamp on it, because the base is Sterling Silver. We don't use any nickel, cadmium or lead - these alloys can irritate the skin and cause reactions.
Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is made from 92.5% pure silver. Why do we use Sterling Silver instead of pure silver (99.9%)? Pure silver is too soft for most jewellery, which is why the alloy is added to strengthen it. There will be a tiny 925 stamped on our silver jewellery.
