Jewellery Odyssey:
The tennis bracelet arose to prominence in the late 80’s, when a tennis player named Chris Evert wore a diamond row bracelet, which infamously came undone during her open match, at the US Tennis Championships. Evert called for the game to be suspended, until she found her diamond bracelet and ever since the concept of a tennis bracelet became a jewellery staple. Tennis bracelets, traditionally consists of a single row of diamonds. Nowadays, the variety of tennis bracelets can be endless, with the option of multiple rows and the alternative use of coloured gemstones.
Gem Lore:
Cubic Zirconia - is a synthetic gemstone made from a composition of zirconium dioxide and in its colourless form, is most often used as a simulant for diamonds. Cz’s possess the optical effect of fire more strongly than diamonds, which is the ability of a material to split light into spectral colours. The artificial gemstone can be made in a rainbow of colours from: yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, violet, blue, green and brown. The modern period, which took place between the 60’s and 80’s, saw the dawn of a hybrid collection between fine and costume jewellery. When artificial gemstones were married together with precious gemstones and metals, making jewellery more affordable for everyone to wear.

Jewellery Care Precautions:
Avoid direct contact with: perfume, lotions, skincare, hairspray / other chemicals. Remove, your jewellery: when showering, swimming (as both chlorine and saltwater will react with metals), washing your hands / using hand sanitisers, before going to bed or when participating in physical activities (going to the gym, exercising, gardening, housework etc….).
Beware, metals may tarnish over time due to oxygen contact and natural body oils. Prevent items from being exposed to moisture and direct sunlight, for long periods. Store jewellery in a dry place away from humidity, in a pouch/jewellery box and keep each piece separated from each other. Care, for your jewellery by cleaning with a soft dry cloth.
White Gold:
White gold is not an element and does not occur naturally in a pure form. Pure yellow gold is mixed with alloys of white metals (such as palladium) to produce, a silver coloured alloy, known as white gold. It is further coated in a precious metal called rhodium (an element that derives from the same metal family as platinum), to increase its lustrous sheen and protect it from tarnishing and scratching.
Over time with exposure to oxygen and moisture, the rhodium coating will naturally wear and you will begin to see the natural yellow colour of gold. Rings will experience this more than other types of jewellery. The general guide for re-applying rhodium coating to your rings is between 1-2 years. However, the rate of wear depends on the pH level of your skin, exposure and contact to chemicals. For professional cleaning and rhodium coating, our workshop will provide the TLC your jewellery needs.
