Iris Care Guide

All Iris pieces are crafted from 925 Sterling Silver or electroplated with 14k gold over 925 Sterling Silver. Please note that plating is not permanent and may wear over time due to factors such as skin acidity and overall care.

Proper maintenance will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewellery. Follow these guidelines to keep your pieces looking their best.

Gold-Plated Jewellery

Gold-plated jewellery naturally tarnishes over time and requires special care. All metals are subject to wear, which may result in oxidation, fading, or the need for professional maintenance.

• Avoid Moisture & Remove When Necessary
  Remove your jewellery before exercising, washing your hands, showering, swimming, or engaging in any activity involving water, as moisture can cause oxidation or discoloration.

• Handle With Care
  Be gentle and avoid excessive force, bending, or impact, as this may damage the plating or alter the shape of your piece. Ensure your hands are clean and dry when handling your gold-plated jewellery.

• Gentle Cleaning
  Clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth, applying gentle pressure to avoid over-polishing.

• Avoid Chemicals
  Keep jewellery away from soaps, shampoos, hairsprays, sanitizers, sunscreens, creams, perfumes, and harsh chemicals like chlorine, as they can damage the plating.

• Proper Storage
  Store jewellery individually in a soft pouch, jewellery box, or airtight container, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to prevent scratching and tarnishing.
  
  

As a general rule, jewellery should be the last thing you put on when getting ready and the first thing you take off when returning home.

By following these care tips, you can extend the life of your jewellery and keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
