Safety and Care information

The "GIST" of Jewellery Care.

Disclaimer : Gist jewellery Creations are meant for adults only - Keep out the reach of children, due to the small parts used to create each piece of jewellery.

At Gist Jewellery, we prioritize the longevity and beauty of our handcrafted pieces. Our jewellery, made from gold-plated brass and mixed media materials, requires specific care to maintain its exquisite appearance and durability. Following these guidelines will help ensure that your jewellery remains in optimal condition.

Firstly, it is essential to keep your jewellery away from moisture. Exposure to water, sweat, and humidity can lead to tarnishing and degradation of the gold plating. It is advisable to remove your jewellery before engaging in activities such as swimming, showering, or exercising.

Secondly, avoid contact with harsh chemicals. Substances such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can adversely affect the finish of your jewellery. To preserve its integrity, apply these products before putting on your jewellery and allow them to dry completely.

Cleaning your jewellery regularly is also crucial. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface of your pieces after each wear. This practice helps remove any oils or residues that may accumulate over time. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, but ensure that you rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.

Storage is another important aspect of jewellery care. Store your pieces in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in a jewellery box. This will prevent scratching and tangling with other items. Avoid storing your jewellery in direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and damage to the materials.

Lastly, handle your jewellery with care. Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate components, and be mindful of the settings and clasps. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it is advisable to consult a professional jeweller for repairs rather than attempting to fix it yourself.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy your handcrafted jewellery for years to come, ensuring that each piece continues to reflect the artistry and individuality that it was designed to embody. At Gist Jewellery, we believe in building better, and that includes fostering a relationship of care between you and your jewellery.
