About the Jewellery

Is it water resistant?
Yes, our pieces are water resistant for normal daily exposure like hand washing or light splashes.

However, unnaturally prolonged exposure to water, chlorine, perfumes, sweat buildup, or harsh chemicals can affect the finish over time. We recommend avoiding extended contact and wiping your pieces dry after exposure.

The stones set in the jewellery are not meant for prolonged and frequent exposure to water.

Will it tarnish?
Our jewellery is highly tarnish-resistant thanks to stainless steel and 18K Gold PVD coating. Under normal daily wear, it should retain its shine beautifully.

That said, unnaturally prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, chlorine, sweat buildup, or harsh chemicals, along with improper care, can lead to tarnishing over time.

We especially recommend gently wiping charms and detailed pieces dry after water exposure to maintain their shine longer.

A little care goes a long way.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
304 and 316 stainless steel are generally considered gentle and low-reactive metals.


Care

How should I store my jewellery?
Store your pieces in a dry place, away from moisture and direct contact with perfumes or chemicals.

How do I clean it?
Use a soft dry cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after use, especially after water exposure. For pieces that don't have set stones or enamel colouring, dipping them in lukewarm water for 5-10 mins with a gentle liquid soap can remove buildup and dirt from the surface.
