Silver normally tarnishes quite quickly when it comes into contact with oxygen or sulphur. To prevent this, our sterling silver is either rhodium- or platinum-plated. Only our whitened pieces are left in their natural state, as they would otherwise lose their light color if coated.
Of course, the rhodium or platinum coating can wear off over time. The best way to prevent silver from tarnishing, is to wear it often, because the oils in your skin prevent tarnishing.
To maintain the original condition of your silver jewelry, polish your pieces regularly with a non-abrasive cleaning cloth or a jewelry polishing cloth, which you can obtain from any drugstore.

Our gold plated jewelry is sterling silver plated with a 14k gold plating. We use black rhodium for our blackened pieces. This is a good alternative if you are not yet ready to invest in a real gold piece, but love the color of yellow or rose gold or if you like blackened pieces. Over time, the plating will wear off.
We like to think, that when we wear a piece of jewelry, it becomes a part of us and as we change, so does our jewelry, creating new, extraordinary patinas as the plating on the surface wears away. However, we will of course re-plate your jewelry if you wish.

Every gemstone has different needs, which is why we recommend that you bring your piece of jewelry with a gemstone to us once a year for a check-up and deep cleaning or ask us for cleaning instructions.
