Jewellery Odyssey:

Inspired by the 60’s and 70’s, bold, bright and big jewels were en vogue, throughout the modern era. It was an experimental period, where gemstone grew larger and yellow gold took centre stage once more. This time the metal was confidently married with diamonds, for a less opulent approach and targeted a wider audience, other than the wealthy. Jewellery would be worn during the day as a statement, to break away from the conventions, of exclusively being worn in the evening. These decades saw the first hybrid collection, of fine and costume jewellery being crafted together, widening the audience for everyone to wear jewellery. The rapid mass productions of artificial gemstones and plastic jewellery, gained momentum and popularity, for its affordability. The iconoclasm mood, inspired splinters shapes, jagged, spiky contours which substituted the smooth, linear outlines of the preceding decades. The space race and the catalysts of rock and pop music, influenced recurring satellite motifs and sharp colour contrasts, resulting in loud, energetic jewels being created.

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.
