Jewellery Care
Each Kirstie Le Marque piece is carefully crafted and designed to be worn and loved. Following the guidance below will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your jewellery.
Wearing Your Jewellery
Jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
Avoid wearing your jewellery:
• In water (bathing, swimming, showering)
• During exercise, housework or sleep
Avoid contact with:
• Perfume, hairspray, lotions and oils
• Cleaning products and chemicals
Chemical contact can cause tarnishing, discolouration and wear and is not considered a fault.
Stones & Settings
Many KLM pieces feature delicate precious stones, pearls and pavé settings.
• Avoid knocks, impact and snagging
• Precious stones lost due to wear or impact are not considered manufacturing faults
Cleaning
Clean gently using:
• A soft, dry cloth
• A non-abrasive jewellery polishing cloth
Do not use chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners.
Storage
The best way to store jewellery is individually in a sealable plastic bag, with as much air removed as possible and away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. While not glamorous, this is the most effective way to prevent tarnishing and discolouration.
Gold - Plated Jewellery
Our gold-plating is high quality and is always a minimum of 2.5 microns and is on sterling silver, never brass. Gold-Plated jewellery will naturally show signs of wear over time. The rate of wear depends on how often the piece is worn and how it is cared for. Plating wear caused by normal use or chemical contact is not considered a fault.
Repairs
Damage caused by general wear and tear, accidental damage or misuse is the responsibility of the wearer. Where possible, we may offer a chargeable repairs service, subject to assessment.
A Final Note
Proper care will help ensure your Kirstie Le Marque jewellery remains beautiful for years to come.
