Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →

Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.

18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →

Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →

Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Styling

This chain works beautifully on its own for a minimalist look, or layer it with shorter pendants and longer chains for a curated, editorial style. The elongated links catch the light with subtle movement and pair effortlessly with both casual and formal wear.

Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time. To maintain its bright finish, gently polish with a soft cloth. Store in a dry place, away from moisture and chemicals. Avoid wearing while swimming or bathing. For deep cleaning, use a silver polishing cloth or mild silver cleaner.
