Jewellery Odyssey:

The Curb chain also knows as Gourmette (French) or Grumetta (Italian), derives from the flat piece of leather or rope, that lays flat against the chin of a horse’s bridle. Traditionally crafted from a rounded wire, each uniform link is slightly twisted in shape to form distinctive grooves. Each link is then hammered, interlocked and soldered to from a continuous link chain, that lays flat against the wearer’s neck. The curb chain comes in a variety of thickness, widths, weights, shapes and finishes. Thinner classic curb designs, are ideal for wearing with pendants or charms. Whilst wider, heavier or thicker versions (such as the Double Curb or Cuban Chains) are perfect for wearing alone. Diamond cut finishes, are where the each links corners or sides, have been chamfered at an angles to create straight facets - that reflect with the light.

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.

Yellow Gold:

Gold as an element, in its purest form will not tarnish, but gold used in jewellery has been alloyed with other metals, to increase durability. These metals have properties that when in contact with oxygen, chemicals, oils or other substances - will result in a surface tarnish or damage and corrosion. Even the pH level of you skin and the natural oils it produces, can tarnish your gold jewellery.

To prevent your gold jewellery from tarnishing or even disintegrating, avoid exposure to household chemicals, bleaches, toothpaste, baking soda and other cleaning abrasives. Wearing jewellery in places where perfumes, hairsprays, body lotions have been applied on your body, will increase tarnishing. Wear your jewellery after the products have been applied. To clean your gold jewellery, use a mild soap with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. For professional cleaning, our workshop can polish your jewellery back to life.
