Material and care instructions
Semiprecious stones and gold-plated jewelry are very delicate, and because of their sensitivity they're also called little divas. Since YvisDesign hand manufactures it's jewelry and the alloy of the gold-plated pieces of jewelry is made of 925 silver, so only the surface is coated with gold. Since we want your piece of jewelry to retain its beauty for a long time, please use the following care instruction.
The gold-plated jewelry and the jewelry made with semiprecious stones should not be worn while bathing, showering, exercising, sauna, doing house work or gardening. The gold plating reacts to abrasion and oxidation and is thus removed by friction and contact with other materials. Furthermore, if you sweat heavily, you should refrain from wearing gold-plated jewelry.
Gold abrasion can also result from the use of creams (e.g. hand creams), hairspray, perfumes, make-up, washing or cleaning agents and disinfectants are attacked. These substances can change the appearance and effectiveness of the semiprecious stones.
If a gold-plated piece of jewelry becomes contaminated or tarnished, it can be cleaned but very carefully, so the gold plating isn't removed. Very important not to use a silver cleaning cloth or a jewelry cleaning bath! These are absolutely taboo for gold-plated jewelry. Please use lukewarm soapy water for gold-plated jewelry. After carefully cleaning the piece of jewelry , place on a towel to air dry or carefully dry with a hair dryer on medium heat. After it is dry the piece of jewelry can be carefully polished with a dry, soft microfiber cloth, with the exception of structured and matt surfaces. A dry -cleaning cloth for glasses is also very suitable for polishing.
To keep the jewelry from tarnishing, it should be kept dry, as airtight as possible and protected from the sunlight.
Silver jewelry reacts to oxidation, which can also take place through skin exhalation. When taking medication or due to toxins in the body, the jewelry can tarnish.
Silver is an alloy that consists of a relatively soft material and is therefore easier to bend than gold or platinum. Please treat every piece of jewelry carefully so that it remains in its full beauty for as long as possible.
Jewelry with semiprecious-healing stones are very delicate. For cleaning place in full moon light or a charging stone base. They should be kept away from the materials/products stated above.
Enjoy wearing your hand manufactured jewelry made with love.
