Jewellery Care

Why is my silver turning black? It's one of the biggest complaints/queries jewellers have. Frequently people think something is wrong with their jewellery when this happens, but in truth, tarnish is a natural reaction to silver metal & the oxygen we breathe. Many things can speed tarnish; air pollution, minerals in water, skin types etc. But there's no hard or fast rule of how long it will take your jewellery to tarnish, some people days, while others take weeks or months. Studies have shown tarnish develops microscopically within a few hours of being cleaned & exposed to the air again. This is only surface discolouration and can easily be removed with a soft, clean polishing cloth. When not wearing, store your jewellery separately so that it doesn’t get scratched or tangled. We recommend storing your jewellery out of strong sunlight & in its original packaging. Bangles/cuffs should be removed gently taking care not to bend or misshape them. Please be aware that repeated bending & flexing of the cuffs can cause metal fatigue. This may result in snapping which cannot be repaired....."NO ROUGH WITH YOUR CUFF" To keep your pieces of jewellery beautiful and shiny we recommend you polish regularly with a clean jewellery polishing cloth, you will receive a cloth with every bangle & cuff, if you would like to purchase more please email us via the contact us page. We recommend removing jewellery before bathing, swimming or in the shower & ensure that your jewellery is kept clean and free from creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, make-up & other solvents.  

Bangle & Cuff Sizing

Please ensure that when placing orders you select the correct bangle size, should your item arrive & not be a suitable sizing, this can be changed & the charge incurred for this is £10 per bangle excluding shipping costs. Cuffs cannot be resized.
