CARE GUIDE & WARRANTY
CARE GUIDE
I want you to wear your jewelry whenever or however you want to - day and night. That's why I only use gold-filled and 24k gold-plated findings that have the same appearance as high carat solid gold and that, even with daily wear, can last over decades. The layer of gold on gold-filled pieces is 5 to 10 times thicker than on gold-plated jewelry, and won't come off for years. Due to its solid layer of gold, gold-filled jewelry does tarnish (as does solid gold) but can be cleaned easily, using a jewelry cloth or jewelry cleaning solution. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, tarnishing of gold-filled pieces does not mean that the layer of gold comes off. So what is often understood as 'tarnishing' of gold-plated jewelry is actually the underlying metal shining through.
To minimize tarnishing, which is simply a buildup of corrosion caused by exposure to air and moisture, I've got a few jewelry hacks for you:
- Your jewelry is cool as it is and doesn't need a refreshment in the shower, pool, jacuzzi, ocean, or wherever you may get wet.
- Don't sweat it, sister! You may want to find another workout buddy than your jewelry.
- Perfumes, body mists, make-up, and lotions are all great but your jewelry doesn't need any of that.
- Your jewelry has a busy life and likes to rest in a jewelry box or the original packaging when you are not wearing it.
- Just like we often don't like sharing a bed with our siblings, each jewelry piece likes to rest on its own without being scratched by another jewel.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
To back up my promise to offer the highest quality jewelry, I offer a lifetime warranty on all pieces. Yep, you heard that right! I know that handmade jewelry, just like any other jewelry, sometimes needs fixing. Simply reach out to me and I will fix or replace the jewelry for free, all you need to cover is shipping to and from my Florida based studio: sales@uniqjewelry.us
PLEASE NOTE:
To be as sustainable and resourceful as possible, I kindly ask you to keep and send all parts of the jewelry pieces that need fixing. That way, I can almost guarantee to be able to fix your jewelry, even if I don't carry that particular item anymore.
Please understand that I cannot cover lost or stolen jewelry or pieces that have been used for a different purpose than the one intended for -like my bracelets usually don't fit around the anklet :).
