Care Instructions
Everything that you see here is handmade by Gabriella in her Sydney studio. Whilst the utmost effort goes into the quality of each piece, maintaining a care routine will serve both you and your jewellery.
Please be aware that Sterling Silver (925), 9kt, 14kt or 18kt Golds are not indestructible. All sterling silver pieces are provided with a polishing cloth to help clean the piece(s) if slight oxidisation occurs. If your jewellery is plated in 24kt Gold it must be handled with consideration. Gold plated pieces do not receive polishing cloths as the abrasive compound in the cloth will scratch the plating off. Please remember that gold plating is a thin layer of precious metal that is electro-plated to the surface of the host metal underneath. This means that it can and will get scratched if not treated with care, and does eventually wear off slightly.
Unless specified, all jewellery should be taken off before you go to bed, hop in the shower, go to the gym or the beach. Things like sweat, salty air, soaps and perfumes all affect the quality of your jewellery over time, particularly if your pieces are Gold plated.
Any items with gemstones that are set in solid gold can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Alternatively we encourage you to email us at hello@gabriellaluchini.com to book in a complimentary ultrasonic clean for your precious items.
It is best to store your jeweller in a jewellery box or at the very least in its own pouch.
