CARE GUIDE

JEWELLERY CARE

Please remove your jewellery before cleaning, bathing, or sleeping, and keep it away from heat sources. Avoid exposing it to water and chemicals, as chlorine, makeup, soap, perfume, and hairspray can dull its finish and lead to metal discolouration or oxidation. Stones in your jewellery may also be impacted by water, chemicals, and humidity, so it's best not to store your pieces in the bathroom.

Handle your jewellery with care to prevent collisions with hard surfaces, which could alter its shape, damage it, or cause stones to dislodge. This is especially important for rings, which are more prone to such issues.

Additionally, stacking rings can lead to wear and tear, potentially affecting the setting of the stones.

STONES

Natural stones have unique patterns and appearances, which can vary from one stone to another. They also come in different hardness levels, but all stones are delicate and can break or chip if they come into contact with hard surfaces.

Jewellery should never be pulled or resized improperly. Rings with gemstones should not be bent or pressed out of shape, as this can alter the original setting and increase the risk of stones falling out.

Band rings with stones encircling the entire ring should be worn with care.

For cleaning, it is best to have stone settings cleaned by a goldsmith, as they are delicate and can be easily damaged if not handled properly.

STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY

Sterling silver is highly durable and ideal for daily wear. We use premium solid 925 sterling silver in our collection. To keep your pieces looking their best, follow these care tips:

  • Clean Weekly: Use a silver polishing cloth.
  • Avoid Contact: Remove jewellery before applying moisturisers, cosmetics, or perfumes.
  • Store Safely: Keep in the provided care pouch in a dry place.
  • Remove Before Water: Take off before showering or swimming.
  • Annual Professional Cleaning: Available at all our International Flagship stores or purchase our Tarnish Removal Cloth for everyday cleaning use

    By following these steps, your sterling silver will maintain its beauty for years.

GOLD PLATED JEWELLERY

Our gold-plated jewellery features a solid sterling silver base with an 18k gold plate: 1.5 microns for earrings, and pendants, and 2.5 microns for rings. To extend its lifespan:

  • Apply After Products: Wear jewellery after applying perfume, deodorant, or lotions, and let them absorb.
  • Avoid Water and Sweat: Remove before workouts, swimming, or washing hands.
  • Avoid Cleaning with a Tarnish cloth as it can strip the gold from the silver.
  • Keep Away from Chemicals: Remove before using cleaning or personal care products,
  • Clean Regularly: Wipe with a soft cloth after use.
  • Store Properly: Use the Stolen Girlfriends Club pouch and box to prevent scratches.

    Plating naturally wears with use. For replating, contact us at online@stolengirlfriendsclub.com or visit our Flagship stores.
