Care Guide
Xanthea jewellery is made to premium standards, with only the highest quality karat gold micron plating, glass beads and gemstones.
CLEANING YOUR JEWELLERY
Lightly wipe your jewellery with a jewellery cloth after each wear to remove any unwanted chemicals on the surface of your jewellery.
Gently polish your items to bring back a shine and remove any tarnish.
Take care not to over polish plated objects as you may remove the plating.
It is essential that you clean your jewellery and avoid chemicals, as tarnishing is not considered a fault. Our jewellery must come into contact with chemicals for tarnishing to occur.
WHAT TO AVOID
Tarnishing occurs when metals react with chemicals causing oxidisation, so please be careful to avoid chemicals that might cause a reaction and clean your jewellery regularly.
Avoid wearing your jewellery when completing activities such as cleaning, gardening, swimming and showering.
Apply your cosmetics, moisturisers and hair products before adding your jewellery with clean hands.
Do not spray perfume directly onto or around your jewellery.
Avoid impact with hard surfaces, including other items of jewellery. This will protect against scratching and chipping.
Please note that all metals oxidise naturally with time and will require maintenance.
GEMSTONES & GLASS BEADS
Gemstones and our handcrafted glass beads are delicate and will chip or shatter on impact with hard surfaces. Please take care when handling and storing. Please note that stones or glass beads that break due to mishandling will not be viewed as faulty.
STORAGE
Store your item in a moisture free room, in the box or pouch provided. Moisture and humidity can cause oxidisation and tarnishing, so please avoid storing your jewellery in the bathroom and keep your jewellery away from all sources of heat.
