We recommend that customers remove jewellery before going to bed or participating in any physical activity. It is relatively easy to bend a ring band or pull on a chain, when lifting weights or using gym equipment or even riding bikes or any other activities where you may be gripping objects tightly with your hands.
Chemicals may also discolour or tarnish your jewellery, so avoid wearing your jewellery in a pool, hot tub or sauna. Make up, hairspray, perfumes, antiperspirants, body acidity, and some sulphur-based drugs may also discolour or tarnish your jewellery.
Please also remember that hard and abrasive surfaces can damage your jewellery pieces.Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewellery. Including but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, saltwater, and silver polish. Please keep jewellery made from different materials separated from each other to avoid damage, tarnishing and colour changes over time.
It is recommended to take pendants and earrings off when sleeping and store carefully in your jewellery case to avoid damage to chains, earring posts and to avoid lost butterfly clasps.
It is best to apply lotion, perfume, make-up and hairspray and let it dry before putting on your ANK Jewellery.
Lotions, perfumes, make-up and hairsprays tend to dull the jewellery pieces.
At times, certain lotions, perfumes, make-up and hair sprays could even have a chemical reaction on the metal, that could alter the original plating colour of the metal.
Avoid rubbing your jewellery pieces with bare hands to prevent oil build up on your pieces.
Remember not to wear jewellery, prior to application of lotion, perfume, make-up and hair spray on.
Do not wear jewellery, prior to doing housework or during any active sport to avoid scratches and damages; as well as accidental injuries to yourself and others.
Do not wear jewellery, for shower, spas, sleeping or swimming.
Do not wear jewellery when handling babies and children.
STERLING SILVER
All silver ANK jewellery is made from Sterling Silver, which is the highest grade of silver used in jewellery manufacturing. Like white gold, some of our sterling silver jewellery is either 18k yellow gold, 14k white gold, oxidised or plated in rhodium to produce a high quality lustrous finish. Over time this plating will fade and can be reapplied for a small fee.
To ensure the life of sterling silver jewelry, do not expose it to water. Please remove your jewelry while exercising, bathing, and swimming, and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions or hair products.
We recommends cleaning your plated jewelry using a damp, soft cloth. Make sure to fully dry the piece before wearing it. Do not use harsh chemicals, jewelry cleaners, or polishing cloths, as this will affect the finish.
We highly recommends that you follow these instructions carefully.
ANK Jewellery is not responsible for the maintenance of your jewelry.
Plating Services
We do provide plating services for a small fee for 925 silver pieces, in gold, white gold and oxidised plating.
