Waterproof Jewellery Care Guide:
Give your jewellery the care it deserves.  Our waterproof, sweat-proof, and life-proof pieces are designed to last. Plus, they come with a lifetime colour warranty thanks to our innovative life shield coating , so you can wear them with confidence, no matter what life throws your way.

Our Waterproof Jewellery Collection is made to last, crafted with a special PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) Life Sheild Coating that ensures your jewellery won’t tarnish over time. This innovative process is ten times stronger than standard gold plating, providing a robust and long-lasting finish so you can wear your pieces every day without worry.

We’re proud to be one of the few brands to collaborate with the Birmingham Assay Office for durability and waterproof testing. Our jewellery undergoes rigorous evaluation to meet the highest quality standards.

When we first launched our Waterproof Jewellery Collection, it was important that we had our product tested to ensure that it met all our expectation and we achieved this with the help of the Birmingham Assay Office, who are leading experts in testing and certification. Thanks to their testing program, all our jewellery is now officially certified as waterproof, and is resistant to:

• Perfumes
• Lotions
• Swimming Pools
• Saltwater
• Perspiration

Though our jewellery is designed for daily wear, proper care will help keep it looking its best. Follow these simple tips to ensure your pieces stay stunning:

• Perfume-Proof, But…: While our jewellery is resistant to perfumes and cosmetics, we recommend letting them absorb into your skin before putting on your jewellery to maintain its long-lasting finish.
• Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe your jewellery to remove oils and buildup, which can affect its shine over time.
• Gentle Cleaning Only: Clean your jewellery with a soft cloth and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can cause scratches.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from cleaning agents, bleach, ammonia, chlorine, and other chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Tangle-Free Routine: keep your Jewellery separate to prevent tangling which can cause unnecessary wear.
• Safe Storage: Store your jewellery in its box or pouch when not being worn. With these simple care steps, your jewellery will maintain its beautiful, waterproof finish for years to come.

Gold vermeil offers a stunning, luxurious look that looks like solid gold but at a more affordable price. However, it’s essential to remember that vermeil is not solid gold. It consists of a thick layer of 18k gold over sterling silver, which gives it its gold appearance, but it requires special care to ensure the gold layer doesn’t wear down over time.

While vermeil is more durable than regular gold plating, the gold layer can still wear down due to various factors:

• Friction: Constant rubbing against surfaces, other jewellery, or hard objects can gradually wear away the gold layer, leaving visible scratches.
• Exposure to Chemicals: Products like perfumes, lotions, creams, and household cleaners can react with the gold, causing the finish to dull and the plating to weaken.
• Sweat: The acids found in sweat can accelerate the breakdown of the gold layer, especially when worn during physical activities or in hot, humid conditions.
• Humidity: Storing your vermeil jewellery in damp environments, such as a bathroom, can speed up the deterioration process. Always store it in a dry place.
• Deformation: Bending or reshaping vermeil jewellery can cause the gold layer to stretch, crack, or flake off, leading to quicker wear. Since vermeil is essentially gold over sterling silver, any deformation can compromise both the gold layer and the structure of the piece.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your vermeil jewellery, follow these simple care tips:

• Avoid Exposure to Chemicals: Always apply perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics before wearing your jewellery. Remove your pieces before swimming or showering to prevent them from coming into contact with harsh chemicals.
• Clean Regularly: After wearing your jewellery, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or residue. This will help prevent buildup and maintain its shine.
• Store Properly: Store your vermeil jewellery in a soft fabric pouch or a jewellery box. This will prevent it from rubbing against other jewellery and getting scratched.
• Remove During Physical Activities: Take off your jewellery before exercising or doing household chores to minimize exposure to sweat, friction, and accidental impacts.

By following these simple guidelines, you can extend the life of your vermeil jewellery and keep it looking as beautiful as the day you bought it.
