The PH of your skin
One's body chemistry may affect how your jewellery wears, this is due to the fact that some people's perspiration & body oils are can be more acidic than others. This may cause discolouration or oxidisation to your jewelry, if this is the case Our Jewels is not responsible for returning or exchanging pieces.
Storing your pieces
We recommend when not wearing your jewelry pieces, to store them in the boxes & pouches provided in a cool, dark place away from sunlight, heat & moisture.
Cleaning Gold Fill Jewellery
We recommend putting the chain of your piece (not pendants) under warm water & gently rub the chain with a soft, baby tooth brush or cotton tip to get into the links & clean them. Do not rub gold fill jewellery harshly with a jewelry cleaning cloth as this could damage your item.
