Please note that some pendants might have (really) tiny little scratch on them after engraving.
The main reason for this is some of the residues from engraving escapes while we clean and polish the newly engraved pendant and may cause this to happen.
These tiny little scratches might seem more intense as the items was just polished and will show any imperfections.
Just keep in mind that it will go away with normal wear and it is basically impossible to do engraving on a shiny polished surface and leave it perfectly spotless.
Also keep in mind that these items are man made/hand crafted and not made in a big factory. So there will always be imperfections
We apply an enamel marker inside the engraved area to increase the boldness of the design. Engraving colour might change slightly over time due to enamel fading or oxidation causing it to darken further.

Please feel free to pop us an email should you have any questions :-)[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”My Sterling Silver item is changing colour, why?”]The major reason behind silver turning black or tarnishes out is due to presence of various chemical reactions that occurs in contact with sulphur and Hydrogen. Our food items, everyday need products, polluted air consist of sulphur that leads to tarnish silver and make it to look black in colour.
Over time, any sterling silver jewellery piece exposed to air will tarnish. … It’s the other metals, primarily copper, that cause sterling silver to tarnish. The copper reacts to moisture and sulphur in the air, causing the tarnishing reaction. Silver tarnishes faster in areas with high humidity and air pollution.

Can you Remove Tarnish from Sterling Silver?
The best ways to take care of discolouration on silver is:
A Silver Cleaner, available in most grocery stores and from jewellers. This way you know what you’re getting is specially designated for your silver, and is gentle on it.
A Polishing Cloth, available online or from jewellery stores.
Alternatively a tiny bit of sunlight liquid in warm water and lightly wash the jewellery.
Below are a few simple tips on how to help prevent tarnishing on your silver jewellery:
Keep it clean. After wearing your sterling silver jewellery, clean it with a dry soft cloth, or polishing cloth, before storing it away.
Keep it safe. Store your clean dry sterling silver jewellery in a dry airtight container.

When worn regularly, sterling silver usually keeps its original, bright colour. However, if a piece remains unworn or your skin is very acidic, it may very well start to tarnish.  All it needs is a simple polish or for you to wear it more often.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Rose Gold Plating After Care Instructions:”]What does Rose Gold Plating mean?
Once you have your beautiful piece made in Sterling Silver, we electroplate the piece using some fun
chemistry. This changes the jewellery piece from Silver into Rose Gold. This does mean that the
plating will need to be re done every so often but not to worry, we are always here to polish it up
and make it brand new again.

How to look after Rose Gold jewellery:
Remember to remove your jewellery while you sleep, shower, exercise and if using harsh cleaning
detergents. Perspiration and moisture can remove the plating faster. When putting body lotion and
perfume on remember to do so before putting on all your beautiful jewels. If you would like to give
your jewellery piece a clean you can use a soft 100% cotton cloth.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”I placed two consecutive orders, how will they be shipped?”]If you placed two consecutive orders and both orders have the same shipping details, we will ship both orders in one shipment to the same address should both orders be ready together. If you require two separate shipments, please let us know.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”I missed my delivery”]We cannot be held responsible if the couriers attempt to make contact and no one responds or if no one is at the delivery address to accept the parcel and the parcel is returned or is not delivered in time.
