Jewellery made from Stainless Steel is great for everyday wear.
Even though Stainless Steel is waterproof and sweet proof, we recommend looking after your jewellery pieces as some jewellery pieces contain semi -precious gemstones, pearls, glass and Austrian crystals.
Why Stainless Steel Jewellery?
Stainless Steel jewellery has many advantages:
Stainless Steel is recyclable and sustainable making it environmentally friendly.
Stainless Steel is strong, durable and resistant to corrosion.
How do you take care of your Stainless Steel Jewellery?
A gentle wipe with a soft, damp cloth and gently pat dry.
Although Stainless Steel jewellery does not oxidise we recommend like any other jewellery to store your items in a closed airtight box or bag.
Allow perfume or lotion to dry before wearing.
Avoid contact with sunblock, hair sprays, aerosols, nail polish removers and harsh chemicals such as household cleansers.
Remove before entering water
Remove when sleeping
Remove when active
Keep away from moisture
Do not tug or pull at your jewellery
Gemstones, stones, crystals, pearls and glass beads are delicate and could get damaged. These do not require cleaning but can be gently wiped. Each stone has its own unique beauty, size, colour and texture including incursions. They are a part of nature.
Gemstones
Gemstones are mineral crystals that can be classified into different categories such as groups, species and varieties. Some gemstones are stained or dyed to enhance the colour, durability, texture and colour. This makes the jewellery affordable and enhances the beauty of the gemstone. This technique was invented around two or three thousand years ago.
Treatments such as heat can change the colour of the gemstones and this tends to be a common practice and can be used for Citrine, Topaz, Rubies and Sapphires (including many others)!
Some gemstones that are heat treated can include:
Tanzanite
Pink Topaz
Ruby
Zircon
Citrine
Sapphire
Disclosure:
Gemstones can be classified as semi-precious minerals. Some can be dyed or heat treated. Care should be taken to look after them.
