Jewellery Odyssey:

Also known as "Rolo", which is Italian for round. The design originated in 19th century Britain. Influenced either by the the popular belcher scarf rings, designed to keep scarfs in place and made, from a series of interlocking rings. Or named after the famous bare-knuckle boxer, James “Jem” Belcher, who was the “Champion Of All England” from 1800-1805.

The belcher design is traditionally composed of individual rounded d-shaped soldered links, alternately arranged every 180°, with a rounded profile on the outside and flat profile on the inside. The belcher design comes in a variety of styles, thickness and finishes.

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.

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.
