Jewelry Care
At Prestige Carat, our jewellery is meticulously crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, adorned with a lustrous layer of 18ct gold plating. While these materials offer beauty and durability, they are also prone to oxidation, leading to fading over time. Factors like environmental exposure, personal care routines, and individual skin pH can accelerate this process.
To help preserve the brilliance and longevity of your Prestige Carat pieces, we recommend following these care guidelines:
- Proper Storage: Store your jewellery in a secure pouch, box, or airtight container, keeping it in a cool, dry place away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
- Routine Cleaning: Regularly polish your pieces using a microfiber cloth or a jewellery-specific polishing cloth to maintain their shine. This also helps to remove any chemical residues and prevent tarnishing.
- Minimal Contact: Limit your jewellery's exposure to potentially damaging substances such as perfumes, lotions, chemicals, and chlorinated or salt water.
- Handling Precautions: Always handle your gold-plated pieces with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or moisture, which can dull the finish.
- Considerate Use: Remove your Prestige Carat jewelry before sleeping, showering, swimming, or engaging in water-based activities to protect its color and structure.
- Gemstone Care: Handle gemstones with extra care, as they can become loose if mishandled or improperly stored.
- Avoiding Damage: Protect your jewellery from hard surfaces to prevent scratches, chips, or chain breakage. Rings require special care, as they come into frequent contact with surfaces. Please note, our warranty does not cover plating wear due to normal use.
Please remember that Prestige Carat is not liable for damage resulting from wear and tear, mishandling, or negligence. By following these care instructions, your Prestige Carat pieces can maintain their beauty and remain cherished items in your collection for many years to come.
