PRODUCT CARE

Solid Gold:

Solid gold retains its’ lustre very well over time. As we do not use any platings, vermeil or coatings on our gold adornments, your HONOUR AVENUE jewellery will keep its beauty, shine and colour for years to come. However, due to everyday wear, lotions, perfumes, sweat and oils from our skin, your solid gold jewellery may need a little TLC from time to time to restore that beautiful shine. 

We recommend polishing your solid gold pieces when required with a jewellery polishing cloth. We include a complimentary black polishing cloth with your adornments in their packaging.

Solid gold, being a softer precious metal, has a tendency to scratch, or bend, so extra care should be taken when wearing and cleaning to maintain quality and appearance.

If you need to clean your gold pieces, using warm, sudsy water and a soft brush is all that is needed. A gentle dishwashing liquid is ideal and be sure to rinse well after brushing and dry completely using a soft cloth before wearing.

Avoid exposing gold jewellery to harsh perfumes, cosmetics, household bleach, chlorine or heated spas as it can cause discolouration and potential weakening of the jewellery.

925 Sterling Silver:

Sterling silver that is regularly worn typically requires less care, so we strongly encourage you to wear your silver everyday. If your silver jewellery is looking a little dull and needs some shine restored, we recommend using a polishing cloth to gently do so. 

Sterling silver oxidises heavily when exposed to salt, chlorine, household chemicals and products containing sulphur. Therefore, we advise to remove your silver jewellery when in heated spas, engaging in hydrotherapy, swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean. 925 silver products are not considered faulty if they oxidise due to a customer's skin pH or other external factors such as bathing in chlorinated or chemically treated pools, saunas or hot spas, lotions and perfumes or exposing the jewellery to other chemicals.

    Regardless of the metal, here are some general care tips to help your jewellery last a lifetime:

    1. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
    2. Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or engaging in strenuous activities.
    3. Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products to prevent buildup and tarnishing.

    With a little love and attention, your jewelry will continue to shine bright for years to come.
