CARE TIPS & MATERIAL GUIDE

Here is the corrected and refined version. I have removed all mention of vermeil and adjusted the advice for stainless steel to recommend avoiding getting it wet, which will best protect the shine of its 24-carat gold plating.

CARE TIPS & MATERIAL GUIDE

Our jewelry is made to last. With a little care, they will maintain their shine and beauty over time. Discover our tips for preserving each piece according to its material.

1. Brass & Stainless Steel (24K Gold Plated)

  • 24K Gold Plated Stainless Steel: Although steel is a very durable metal, its thin layer of 24-carat gold remains delicate. To preserve the brilliance and longevity of your gilding, we advise you to avoid getting your pieces wet (shower, swimming pool, sea).

  • 24K Gold Plated Brass: Brass is a traditional jewelry material that offers a beautiful warm finish. It is very sensitive to moisture. Be sure to remove your brass jewelry before washing your hands, showering, exercising, or applying perfume.

  • Cleaning: A simple wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing is enough to remove fingerprints, perspiration, or cosmetic residue.

2. 925 Sterling Silver

  • 925 Sterling Silver: Wear your silver jewelry regularly; it's the best way to prevent it from tarnishing!

  • Maintenance: If a slight film of oxidation appears over time, gently rub them with a soft cloth, a drop of dish soap, or non-abrasive toothpaste, then rinse with clear water and dry them immediately and very thoroughly.

3. Diamonds & Precious Stones

  • Responsible Selection: Each stone is carefully selected by us, whether natural or synthetic diamonds, all from ethical and responsible sources.

  • Precautions: Precious stones and diamonds can capture greasy substances (creams, oils, perfumes), which dull their brilliance. Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the stone.

  • Cleaning: To revive a stone's brilliance, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with warm water, then gently wipe.

4. Daily Habits (For all your jewelry)

  • Habits to avoid: Before sleeping, engaging in sports activities, or swimming, remove your jewelry to prevent any risk of shock, scratches, or premature wear of the gilding.

  • Storage: Store your pieces in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity (avoid leaving them in the bathroom). Ideally, use their individual pouch or a compartmentalized box to prevent them from scratching each other.
