Jewelry Care

I have decided to stop plating my jewelry and use raw, untreated metals in order to minimize environmental impact. Sterling silver, bronze and brass will develop a patina resulting from oxidation, due to the chemical reaction, that happens when the metals are exposed to the atmosphere and this is a natural process.

However, they can be easily cleaned and polished at home, to restore their original appearance and, if cared, they will last for decades, contrary to the plated jewelry that needs to be re-plated by a specialist.

TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR JEWEL SHINY

  • Polish your jewel regularly with the polishing cloth we provide to keep it shiny. (Do not wash the cloth. Replace it when it is completely darkened.)

  • Store your piece in its box, in a dry place, separately from other jewelry.

  • Avoid contact with chemicals, perfume, hairspray and deodorant. Take it off while cleaning or swimming.

  • In case your jewel has developed a heavy tarnishing you can restore its shine by buffing it gently with some toothpaste on a soft toothbrush (avoid contact with fresh water pearls or stones, if any). Then, rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.

  • You can always contact us for any further assistance.

Repairs

Since jewelry is by no means indestructible by time, should you require a repair or re-polish, please drop us an email and we will be happy to refresh your piece. Repairs are free (you only pay the shipping cost), unless damage is caused by mistreatment, then a small repair fee may apply.

Ring Sizing

You can find your ring size by using any of these two methods.

  • Measure a ring you already own.

    If you have a ring that fits perfectly you can measure its inner diameter to find your ring size.

    Center the ring's diameter on a flat ruler (mm) to accurately measure it.

    Choose the closest INNER DIAMETER measurement on the chart below to find your ring size.

  • Measure the circumference of your finger.

    Use a piece of string or thin paper strip and wrap it around the base of your finger.
    Take a pen to mark the point on the string/strip where the end meets.
    Use a ruler (mm) to measure the length.
    Choose the closest CIRCUMFERENCE measurement on the chart below to find your ring size.
