JEWELLERY
What is your jewellery made of?
Our pieces are made of 18K solid gold and natural diamonds.
Why do you use 18K solid gold instead of 14K?
Although 14K gold is more affordable and provides a nice gold appearance, we wanted to take the extra step and create pieces that would last not only one, but a few lifetimes. This could only be achieved with 18K gold.
18K gold has the following characteristics:
- High gold content: It has a pure gold content of 75% as compared to only 58.5% in 14K gold. The higher gold content gives our pieces a richer, more vibrant gold colour.
- Durable: The higher gold content makes our pieces more durable and resistant to scratches, dents and general wear and tear as compared to 14K gold.
- Valuable: 18K gold generally holds its value better over time.
- Hypoallergenic: It is hypoallergenic due to the lower alloy content in 18K gold. This means that our pieces are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, especially for those with metal sensitivities.
How do I care for my jewellery pieces?
All of our pieces are made with 18k gold and natural diamonds. This means that they are more durable and are water and sweat proof!
We have personally tested our products and have worn them frequently in the gym and in the shower.
Clean with a gentle dish soap, warm water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Avoid heat, cosmetics with harsh ingredients, extreme temperatures, and harsh chemicals.
Do not wear your jewellery when swimming, in hot springs and saunas or during activities where there is risk of pulling or tugging.
Store your jewellery individually to avoid scratching with other pieces.
Please stop wearing the product in case of any abnormal symptoms on the skin.
Are there any concerns with rose gold jewellery?
Rose gold may be tarnished and become darker due to its copper content. This is a natural phenomenon and is not a product defect nor related to the gold content.
