JEWELRY CARE

All Saskia V. Jewelry is crafted with solid precious metals, never plated. Unlike many jewelry brands out there, you can live (work, swim, bathe, sweat, wear perfume and makeup, sunbathe) in your pieces daily. This won’t wear them down, change their colour, or stain your skin.

The pieces all have strong walls and a substantial weight, meaning they won’t bend or dent in with wear.

You can choose how you want to treat your pieces, some people prefer to store them carefully, clean them regularly and have them professionally re-polished from time to time to keep them bright and shiny, others love the look that pieces get after years of constant wear - a rich patina and dimpled surface.

We generally recommend storing your pieces in individual pouches (so they don’t scratch each other), keeping them dry (not in a puddle on your bathroom sink), and occasionally washing them with a mild soap and soft toothbrush, rubbing them with toothpaste, or giving them a wipe with a jewelry polishing cloth. But really, there’s no need to over think it, they’re made to be reliably long lasting

Note that silver does tarnish over time when it comes into contact with oxygen or sulfur. The best way to prevent this is wearing your silver jewelry often. The oils in your skin help prevent this reaction. There are also silver cleaning solutions you can buy to restore its original shine. Avoid using these cleaners on stones.

Please note that certain stones are more delicate than others, and may need some extra attention to keep them in their best condition. Keep them separate from other objects or jewelry pieces that may scratch or dent them, and away from changing temperatures. If ever they look a little worse for wear, send them back to us, or bring them to a local jeweller for a good clean-up.

Brass may darken with wear, depending on your body chemistry. If you’d like to restore it’s shine, use a mild soap and soft toothbrush, or toothpaste to polish.
