We pride ourselves in offering you beautiful equestrian inspired jewellery. The quality of our pieces means that they are made to last if they are taken care of. We recommend following our best tips below in caring for you jewellery to maintain their exquisite lustre & quality.

EVERYDAY WEAR

Be sure to take care when wearing your jewellery pieces throughout the day. Without notice, your jewellery can get caught on clothing, accessories and items you come into contact with. Remember the golden rule of Last On, First Off. Your jewellery should be put on last when dressing and taken off first.

CARE

Ensure to remove your jewellery before sleeping, bathing, swimming or exercising to avoid damage and/or significant tarnishing to your beloved pieces. Also be weary of where you spray your perfume and hairspray. Silver is a malleable (soft) metal; so, be gentle with earring posts, clasps etc as they can bend or break under excessive force. 

STORAGE

Your jewellery should be stored individually in a safe, dry & cool place to prevent from tarnishing, discolouration, tangling and scratches.

REPAIR

Should your jewellery ever become damaged or heavily tarnished, we recommend visiting your local jeweller who will be able to provide an experienced service for cleaning and repair. 

CLEANING

Due to a natural reaction to chemicals in the atmosphere, heat and body oils, sterling silver can tarnish and oxidise. Discolouration can usually be removed by gentle rubbing with a good quality jewellery cleaning cloth. 

SPECIFIC JEWELLERY CARE

SILVER - Usually suitable for everyday wear unless it is a fragile design. Can be cleaned with a silver cleaning cloth - more difficult tarnishing may require a professional polish.

OXIDISED SILVER - Usually suitable for everyday wear unless it is a fragile design. Best to clean oxidised silver with a soft cleaning cloth - do not use silver dip as this will remove the oxidisation.

ELECTROFORMED SILVER - Electroformed silver dents more easily than cast or stamped silver. Clean with a soft cleaning cloth - do not use silver dip as electroformed jewellery is hollow and it is very hard to remove solution from inside.
