RECOMMENDED CARE GUIDE

14k Gold Plated

At Lotus and Luxe Jewellery we take pride in the quality and value for money of our jewels. All of our jewellery is protected with a unique, patented plating technology that creates a Water and Tarnish Resistant barrier, perfect for everyday wear. Our gold pieces are crafted from sensitive skin friendly, nickel and lead free jewellers quality brass, and plated in half a micron of 14k gold.

To maximize the life of your pieces, we suggest following the below care instructions.

• Although occasional exposure to plain water will not cause damage to your jewellery, we recommend removing it prior to swimming or bathing to maximise the life of your jewellery. Particularly chlorinated water,  cleaning agents, beauty products, and anything containing derivatives of alcohol. These contain harsh chemicals that may cause damage or dullness if left on the surface of your jewellery. 
• Wearing your jewellery while you exercise, or swim in salt water, will not cause immediate damage to your jewellery however it could cause it to dull and lose its sparkle. If subjected to sweat and salt water we recommend rinsing in clean water and drying it thoroughly afterwards. 
• Keep your pearl and mother of pearl pieces away from water as it can cause damage to the structure of the pearl and loosen inlaid pieces. 
• Regularly clean your jewelry with a dry, soft cotton cloth to renew its shine.
• For a deep clean, wash in soapy water and gently remove dirt and oils with a soft brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• We recommend storing your Lotus and Luxe Jewellery in a cool, dry place away from other jewellery. 

 14k Gold Vermeil

Our zodiac stud earrings are made with 14k gold vermeil, which is a heavy gold plating (2.5 microns of gold thick) over a base of sterling silver. We recommend not wearing gold vermeil in the water.
