Wear & Care
Diamonds can break, chains may snap and precious metals will scratch so show a little love and care for you jewellery.
Diamonds
There is a misconception that diamonds are unbreakable, unfortunately this is not true. Although the hardest known natural mineral and virtually scratch resistant it doesn’t stop them shattering when hit hard enough. Therefore it’s a sensible precaution to remove diamond set rings for sports or during any form of manual work as a sharp knock could result in the stone shattering.
Gold and Platinum are hardy metals, which should be able to withstand most of the rigours of normal daily use. However even with normal wear they will scratch and dent and with hard wear may misshape. They can be polished with a soft cloth but I don’t recommend a silver polish cloth as they generally contain abrasive powder.
Silver
You may find that some items occasionally turn black (oxidise) where they come into contact with your skin. This is due to the natural acids in one's skin reacting to the additional metals in sterling silver. "silver dip" solution. If you find that it continues to oxidise, we can rhodium or pure silver-plate it.
