All pieces are handmade in Sterling Silver. Silver undergoes a natural chemical process called oxidation which can darken the piece. That happens with more or less intensity depending on the proximity to the ocean, air pollution, the skin’s PH or how you store your jewelry. It is not related to the quality of the material.

Keep away from perfume, cream, soap, talcum, heat, steam, chlorine, detergent, sweat or any chemical product. It causes damage to the silver and specially the gold plating.

The natural stones and pearls are fragile materials that can break with impact.

Clean your jewelry with a clean dry cloth and store in the original packaging away from other jewelry to avoid scratching.

General care

Handle jewelry carefully. Be especially careful not to drop them on the floor or hit them against hard surfaces, as this can damage your delicate structures, which are not covered by the warranty. Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, playing sports or other physical activities. Avoid contact with makeup, creams and perfumes.

Oxidation

Silver and Copper (metal present in most gold alloys) in contact with air undergo a chemical phenomenon called oxidation, which can cause a change in the original color of the jewelry. This color change does not represent a change in the quality or content of the alloys. It is a natural and superficial alteration, occurring to a greater or lesser extent depending on factors as distinct as the proximity to the sea, the PH of the skin, or the way in which the jewelry is stored.

How to take care of your pearls and other natural gems

Pearls need some special handling care. Contact with perfumes and creams, for example, should be avoided. Pearl jewelry should also not come into contact with water. Avoid contact of the pearl jewelry with other jewelry and, when handling it, it is recommended to hold the piece by the metal.
