Product Care
Jewellery platings are thin coats of precious metal electroplated on base metals, in the case of Figmenterie - Copper and Brass. These layers can tend to tarnish over time, depending on environmental conditions and exposure to moisture and chemicals. To keep plating and enamel finishes fresh and long lasting, keep your piece away from moisture and dust, preferably store in original packaging to avoid scratching on finishes. Heavily textured and delicate pieces would be best handled with care. Protect from perfumes, cosmetics and paint. In case over time your jewellery requires a replate, we offer replating services on cost.
To extend the life of your plated jewellery:
- Wear after applying perfume, hairspray and makeup
- Remove before bathing, swimming or exercising
- Store in a soft pouch or box separate from other jewellery. Do not wrap in cotton as the fibres may get entangled in the textured jewellery pieces.
- Clean your plated jewelry gently, with a soft, dry toothbrush and don’t rub on it with abrasives.
All Figmenterie jewellery is coated with hypoallergenic lacquer coatings to protect your skin as well as plating finishes. Although jewellery finishes are skin safe, they are NOT food safe. Do not eat, lick, store edible items without outer coverings. Keep away from children.
