Materials and Care

Always store your jewellery pieces individually in cool and dry place, ideally in your Arianotte packaging so that they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle.

Special care should be taken with gemstones to ensure that they do not knock against one another when stored. 

Do not store your jewellery in your bathroom!

With time and wear, sterling silver will naturally become oxidised and eventually tarnish but if you store your jewellery properly, the oxidation process will slow down. 

The oxidation is also slowed down by wearing your jewellery often. But, If your jewellery is stored for long-periods of time, we recommend an occasional cleaning to maintain shine. 

Sterling silver tarnishes, especially when exposed to salt air, products containing sulfur and other chemicals like soaps, creams or perfume. However, 925 silver jewelry is a great choice for daily wear. It's durable, versatile, with proper care and maintenance, your Arianotte silver jewelry can last for years to come.

The jewellery pieces with gemstones require special care. Take care to protect your jewelry from impact against hard surfaces and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.

Some stones are more delicate than others but all the gemstones can
scratch or chip if hit with enough force or at just the right angle... Extreme temperatures, perfumes, cosmetics, ultrasonic
cleaning and household chemicals can also damage jewelry.

Do not keep jewellery in direct
sunlight as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause many gemstones to fade and lose their colour.

Enamel can also chip or scratch when struck. Extreme temperatures, perfumes, cosmetics, ultrasonic cleaning and household chemicals can also damage jewelry.
