Care

Each material has its own character and changes naturally over time. Follow this guide to care for your jewelry and preserve its beauty for years to come.

How to care for your Jewelry

Silver

Our jewels are crafted in untreated 925 silver and polished to enhance every detail. Silver naturally reacts to air, humidity, sea water, thermal or sulphurous water, and chlorine, which may cause oxidation or darkening over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material.

To preserve its brightness, clean your silver jewelry with a soft cloth or with products specifically designed for silver. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and harsh chemical products.

When not worn, store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box.

Bronze

Bronze is sensitive to humidity and to the natural acidity of the skin. Over time, it may darken or leave a slight greenish mark on the skin. This is a normal reaction of the material and is not harmful.

To reduce this effect, avoid wearing bronze jewelry in water, during sports, or in very humid conditions. After wearing it, gently wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth.

If oxidation appears, polish the surface with a soft cloth suitable for metals. Avoid abrasive products and chemical cleaners, especially on pieces with stones, enamel, or special finishes.

Gold

Gold is a precious metal that does not oxidize, but it can lose its shine when exposed to dust, cosmetics, perfumes, soaps, or chemical products.

To preserve its brightness, gently clean your gold jewelry with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, then dry it carefully and immediately.

Avoid abrasive products that may scratch the surface. Store gold jewelry separately in a soft pouch or case to protect it from scratches and contact with other metals.
