Your jewellery is meant to be lived with - touched, worn, and loved. Over time, each piece will quietly shift and age, becoming more yours. With gentle care and attention, your sacred adornments will remain part of your ritual for years to come.

Sterling Silver

What to Expect: Sterling silver is alive to its environment - it deepens in tone as it meets air and moisture, creating a patina that reflects the story of its wear.

Care Ritual: Store in a soft pouch or airtight bag when resting. Polish gently with a soft cloth to restore its quiet shine. Avoid water, lotions, and perfumes. If tarnish appears, use a mild silver cleaner or a baking soda and water paste.

Copper

What to Expect: Copper evolves beautifully, deepening in warmth over time. It may leave a faint green tint on the skin - a natural and harmless exchange between metal and body.

Care Ritual: Refresh its glow with lemon juice and salt or a polishing cloth. Store in a dry place to slow oxidation. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or chemicals.

Brass

What to Expect: Brass carries a golden warmth that softens with time, forming a patina many cherish for its vintage beauty.

Care Ritual: Clean with lemon juice and baking soda or a polishing cloth. Store in an airtight pouch to minimize tarnish. Avoid exposure to water, perfume, and lotions.

Gold-Plated Jewellery

What to Expect: Gold-plated pieces hold a delicate layer of gold - luminous yet gentle. With frequent wear, that layer may gradually soften, revealing the base metal beneath.

Care Ritual: Remove before swimming, showering, or physical activity. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately to prevent scratches.

Gold-Filled Jewellery

What to Expect: Gold-filled jewellery carries a thicker layer of gold than plating, offering longevity when cared for with intention.

Care Ritual: Clean with mild soap and water, then dry completely. Avoid long exposure to moisture, lotions, and perfumes. Store in a pouch or jewellery box when not in use.

Gemstones & Crystals

What to Expect: Gemstones and crystals are living earth - each one carries its own energy, sensitivity, and story. Some are hardy; others require a softer touch.

Care Ritual: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight - amethyst, rose quartz, and aquamarine are especially light-sensitive. Keep away from water where possible. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Store separately from metal pieces. To cleanse the energy of your stone, use moonlight, sound, or smoke - avoid salt water, which can damage softer or porous crystals.
