Care
All items made by RBCCA KSTR are handcrafted from sterling silver. There may be slight differences, markings and inclusions on all stones, metals and finishings such as tool marks, uneven surfaces, slight colour variances and minor flaws.
If handled with care the lifetime of your handmade piece can be prolonged. Please follow the below instructions when caring for your silver jewellery.
Please avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, makeup, moisturiser, fake tan, sunscreen, hairspray or other chemical filled products as they can damage and/or change the lustre of precious metals. Place your jewellery on after applying any of the above, this helps to reduce exposure and contact.
Avoid all contact with water. Please ensure all jewels are removed and stored in a safe, dry space before swimming, bathing or exercising. This includes household cleaning - as exposure to harsh chemicals, even without direct contact, could cause damage.
After Care
After each wear, it is recommended that you clean any metals and platings carefully. Air and natural oils in your skin can cause damage and increase tarnishing over time. To restore shine, life, and lustre and to remove any tarnish, clean all metal components with a soft, non-abrasive jewellery or silver polishing cloth. If you are using a specific jewellery-cleaning product, always follow the instructions on the container – a spot test is recommended to prevent any damage.
Ensure jewellery is stored in a safe, dry place, out of direct light, free from moisture and away from any extreme heat. Please ensure each piece is stored separately, to prevent any scratching or rubbing from contact with other jewels.
