Jewellery Care

Every With Lucenta piece is made in 925 sterling silver - 92.5% pure silver, alloyed for strength. Our gold pieces are finished with 18K gold plating over sterling silver, and our stones are hand-cut cubic zirconia unless stated otherwise.

• Apply perfume, hairspray, lotion and sunscreen first, and let them dry before putting on your jewellery.
• Take jewellery off before showering, bathing, swimming (chlorine and salt water are especially harsh), exercising, cleaning or sleeping.
• Avoid contact with household chemicals, sanitisers and cosmetics.
• Remove rings and bracelets for heavy work to avoid knocks, bending and snagging.

• After wearing, wipe each piece gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and moisture.
• For sterling silver, a silver polishing cloth restores shine and removes light tarnish.
• For gold-plated pieces, use only a soft dry cloth - polishing cloths and abrasive cleaners wear the plating away.
• Never use toothpaste, baking soda, bleach or ultrasonic cleaners.

Store each piece separately in its pouch or box to prevent scratches and tangled chains. An air-tight pouch or a small bag with an anti-tarnish strip slows tarnishing. Keep jewellery in a cool, dry place - not the bathroom - and fasten chains before storing them.

Gold plating is a layer of real gold over sterling silver. With wear it gradually softens and fades - fastest on pieces that rub against skin, surfaces or other jewellery, like rings and bracelets. How long it lasts depends on how often you wear the piece, your skin chemistry and how it's cared for.

Cubic zirconia is durable, but a sharp knock can chip a stone or loosen a setting. Check settings now and then, and if a stone feels loose, stop wearing the piece and email [email protected]. For what our warranty covers, see Warranty & plating.
