Sterling silver is a precious and delicate metal that requires your care to keep its shine. Here are some helpful tips from me:

..........

The Do’s 

• Gently wipe your sterling silver jewelry with 100% cotton cloth after wearing them

• Only use the silver polishing cloth in your Barebone order on tarnished pieces

• Store every piece/pair of your jewelry individually in your 100% ecological cotton pouch to prevent air and knocking against one another

• Keep them in a dry, cool place and avoid direct sunlight

• Fasten your necklaces, bracelets and anklets so they won’t tangle

..........

The Dont’s 

• Keep your pieces away from chemicals that will accelerate tarnishings, such as chlorine, bleach, perfume or body cream

• Avoid dipping your jewelry in liquid silver cleaner unless the surface of your pieces is completely tarnished and turned black

• Keep dry, do not wear your jewelry showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping

• Keep away from pressure and heavy items clashing or squishing your jewelry

• Avoid strong forces on your pieces to keep sterling silver, a soft metal, in good shape

Avoid chemicals like perfume, spray and cream as they will destroy the lustre and nacre of pearls. Instead, we recommend wearing your jewelry after applying make-up, perfume and hair spray.

Due to snake chains’ semi-rigid-formed nature, they are susceptible to kinking. Therefore, careful storage is required to preserve the chain’s original shape. I recommend the chain be hung up or coiled carefully.

We chose to use recycled sterling silver as the primary metal, one of the most beautiful and precious metals. Our jewelry is marked with a 925, which means this piece has been certified to contain 92.5% pure silver.

Jewelry made from this material will go through a natural tarnishing process. It is the nature of sterling silver. Over time, it develops a thin layer of corrosion that causes the jewelry to appear dull and discoloured. Especially when exposed to salt air and things containing sulphur, such as rubber, felt, wool, water or air.

We use Rhodium plating on sterling silver to increase the durability of your jewelry. Rhodium is a luxurious member of the platinum family group. It is silver-hued and reflective. In addition, it is a hard metal that provides a protective layer on the sterling silver surface, which can help prevent your jewelry from tarnishing.

We use 14k and 18k gold coating on sterling silver to create a high-quality gold finish. With gold plating, the jewelry pieces are more durable than gold-filled pieces. There are also more opportunities to create trendy designs that do not cost a fortune.

For a few of our stylish pieces, we use a sterling silver coating on a base metal (in our case, copper) to provide more affordable jewelry options.

We use natural pearls and cultured pearls for our jewelry. For natural freshwater pearls, I work with our manufacturer, which has almost 20 years of experience in cultivating pearls. My cultured freshwater pearl pieces are genuine pearls produced by an oyster or mollusk, but with human assistance.

We use natural zircon as one of my gemstones. Zircon is attractive, durable, and more economical than diamonds and sapphire. It is also believed that wearing zircon can reduce negative energy :)
