Jewellery Care
Every piece of Atelier Kazan is made with care from precious metals and natural gemstones. Any advice given to you about the suitability of materials, design or choice of gemstone for your lifestyle is given to you in good faith and we cannot be held responsible for future damage to your jewellery.
Instructions on how to make your jewellery last a lifetime:
- • Take your jewellery off if you’re involved in any activity which could knock or damage it or cause potential for impact. Impact at the wrong angle can weaken the structure of your jewellery and possibly result in a gemstone becoming loose, falling out or even breaking.
- • Take it off when you go to bed
- • Take it off when washing your hands or using corrosive products that could permanently damage precious metals stones or pearls.
- • Take off for swimming. Chlorine is especially damaging
- • Keep your jewellery away from intense sources of heat and extreme temperature changes
- • Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on which can particularly damage stones like pearls or opals
- • Store it separately in a soft lined box or case so that your favourite pieces don’t tangle, rub or scratch one another
Maintenance
Have your jewellery checked regularly by your jeweller. Things to look out for:
- • Worn, damaged or missing claws on settings risk losing stones
- • Stones loose in their setting
- • Loose catches and clasps or rough links on chains and bracelets
- • Any fractures in metals
- • Pearls that are loose on their thread or where the thread is frayed
- • Too much movement in jointed hinges
- • The plating wearing off gold
