After Care

Hermosa Design jewellery is designed with high quality, lasting materials such as gold vermeil, sterling silver and surgical steel. Our jewellery is designed to be worn, enjoyed and lived in.  This care guide will help you maintain your jewellery to ensure its longevity. 

 

GOLD PLATING

Our gold-plated jewellery is made by electroplating 18k gold onto durable brass and silver.

Gold-plated jewellery requires extra care so we encourage you to follow these simple instructions to get the most wear out of your gold-plated pieces. Our pieces are delicate and require some love to keep them long lasting.

 

To ensure the longevity of your jewellery please make sure to remove them before going to sleep, exercising, showering, swimming and please avoid contact with liquids, e.g. hand sanitizer, perfumes, water, hair spray, cosmetics, creams and oils, or doing anything that involves moisture.  Contact with liquid may cause oxidisation or discolouration. In other words, when there’s liquid there should be no wear. 

The nature of gold-plating means you need to take extra care when wearing gold-plated jewellery. It’s important to remember that all metal is susceptible to natural wear and will eventually oxidise, fade or require expert maintenance in its lifetime.

 

We recommend to store your jewellery in the HERMOSA DESIGN jewellery pouches/jewellery box out of direct sunlight and away from heat and moisture.

Take extra care of your gemstones, they may chip or become dislodged if dropped or improperly stored.

If irritation occurs due to an allergic reaction try applying a thin coat of clear nail polish over your jewellery. The nail polish will act as a barrier between your skin and the jewellery and voilà, problem solved.

Our jewellery is produced with the top quality standards: however, without proper care some tarnishing may occur overtime.
