Made from only high quality precious metals, we understand your personalised Your Jewel jewelry is special and sentimental, so it's important to take care of your keepsake jewelry to extend its life.
Your Jewel jewelry is made entirely from high quality precious metals, as every personalised piece is either 18k Gold Vermeil, 18k Rose Gold Vermeil or Solid Sterling Silver.
18K Gold Vermeil
All of our 18k Gold and Rose Gold pieces are vermeil. Vermeil (pronounced ver-may) is a 18th century French jewelry technique which refers to the materials used as well as the plating method. The base is .925 solid Sterling Silver, with a thick layer of 18k Yellow Gold or Rose Gold. In order to be titled 'Vermeil', the gold must be over 10k and plated to be 2.5 microns (fives times thicker than normal plated jewelry). We also add a palladium layer to ensure the lasting of our plating.
Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is a precious metal made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals which ensure it's long lasting and durable. Hence why Sterling Silver is often referred to a 925. Our Sterling Silver pieces are all plated in Rhodium, a rare precious metal which gives your jewelry extra shine and protection.
Caring For Your Jewelry
Given the sentimental nature of the product, we encourage you to follow these general care rules to ensure a quality and long life of your piece:
- Avoid saltwater, chlorine in pools, soap, perfumes and other creams. Please remove and be mindful of these substances on your jewelry.
- Avoid contact with excess water and steam and do not wear in the shower, while bathing or swimming.
- Protect your jewelry from extreme sunlight and temperatures.
- Remove before doing household cleaning or gardening where chemical sprays are often used.
- Remove your necklace for all sporting activities and physical based exercises. Store your jewelry in a safe dry place when not worn. If stored for a long period of time, we recommend this stored in a professional anti tarnish jewelry box.
- To clean and polish use your complimentary anti-tarnish microfibre cloth.
