Question 10

Can I have my moon phase engraved?

Accepted Answer

Moon Phase necklaces can be engraved on the back with a date or a name.  The smaller jewellery such as rings and cufflinks can fit one letter on the back of them.

Question 11

How do I care for my jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Over time silver will tarnish.  To prevent this keep your jewellery in an airtight bag when not in use.  Wearing silver prevents tarnishing.  To keep it looking shiny gently rub with a soft cloth or a polishing cloth.  Avoid exposing to chemicals and perfumes.

Natural gemstones vary in hardness and some need greater care than others.  As a general rule avoid using a polishing cloth,  chemicals and detergents on stones.

Remove jewellery when sleeping, bathing, exercising or swimming.

Question 12

What should I do if my jewellery is damaged?

Accepted Answer

If your jewellery has minor damage or scratches, we offer free repairs; you only need to cover the postage costs both ways. We recommend using a postal service that includes insurance for jewellery.
