Iris Care Guide
All Iris pieces are crafted with either 925 Sterling Silver or electroplated 14k gold onto 925 Sterling Silver. Please note that plating is not permanent and may wear over time influenced by factors such as skin acidity and how well the jewellery is cared for.
Proper care will help maintain the item's beauty and longevity. Follow the below guidelines to keep your pieces looking their best.
Gold Plated Jewellery:
Gold-plated jewellery requires special care as it naturally tarnishes over time. Keep in mind that all metals are subject to wear over time, which may result in oxidation, fading, or the need for professional maintenance.
- Avoid Moisture & Remove When Necessary: Remove your jewellery before exercising, washing hands, showering, swimming, or any activity involving water. Moisture can cause oxidation or discolouration.
- Handle With Care: Ensure your hands are clean and dry when handling your gold-plated jewellery.
- Gentle Cleaning Process: Clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth applying gentle pressure so as not to over-polish.
- Avoid Chemicals: When wearing your plated jewellery, please avoid contact with soap and shampoo, hairspray, sanitiser, sunscreen, creams, perfume, and other harsh chemicals such as chlorine, as these can damage the plating.
- Proper Storage: Store your jewellery individually to avoid it scratching in a safe, dry place in either a soft pouch, jewellery box, or airtight container, away from direct sunlight and heat.
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.
Take Care – Iris.
