Jewellery care

What is your jewellery made from?
Sterling Silver:

Made from the highest quality, solid sterling silver (925). The '925' marked on all of our silver pieces stand for 92.5% minimum pure silver. As pure silver is soft and malleable, which can make it prone to breakage, 7.5% is made up of alloy. This is to ensure that our silver pieces will be durable and withstand daily use while staying the highest possible quality. 

18k Gold Vermeil: 

Vermeil, (pronounced ver- may) is the highest quality method of gold plating, not to be mistaken with standard gold plating however. Made from a thick layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns) on sterling silver. We use a higher quality than most gold that is 18 karats. 

How is your jewellery waterproof?

Our tropical treasure is made from sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil, meaning it will never tarnish or turn your skin green.

To ensure your jewellery lasts we suggest:

  • Although water friendly, avoid contact with swimming pools, spas and saunas.
  • Avoid contact with moiturisers, detergents, soaps, perfumes, make up etc. as this can damage the metals. 
  • Sterling Silver can oxidise with wear & exposure. Simply remove with the sterling silver cloth we provide you in your order. Only use this cloth, do not clean with anything else.  
  • After wearing your jewellery in the ocean, rinse with fresh water and pat dry.
  • Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. 
  • As delicate jewellery can break, we recommend taking your jewellery off during any exercise or vigorous activities. 
Is your jewellery hypoallergenic

Yes, all of our jewellery is made from high grade hypoallergenic sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil. It is also completely nickel- free and suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

Does your jewellery come with a warranty?

Yes, we are confident that our jewellery will last, so confident that we offer a 3- month warranty on all of our pieces. Please read more on our warranty policy here.
