Taking Care of Your Kate & Kole Jewellery

Avoiding Contact with Chemicals and Physical Stress

We believe in the longevity of our jewellery, but proper care is essential to maintain its beauty. Avoid exposure to perfumes, cosmetics, perspiration, chlorine, and other chemicals, which can tarnish metals. Jewellery should not rub against other metals or surfaces as it can scratch. Always remove pieces before sleeping, exercising, or swimming to prevent significant wear and tear. Store items in a soft pouch or the custom packaging provided, ensuring they stay clean and protected from scratches.

Regular Diamond Setting Checks

While our jewellery is crafted to last, regular inspections are crucial to keep your stones secure. Wear can loosen settings over time, so professional checks are recommended to identify issues like weakened prongs. Proper maintenance ensures your diamonds remain safe and your jewelry retains its value and brilliance. Additionally, avoid exposing your pieces to force or weight, as these can stress the settings and lead to damage.

Caring for Chains

Chains, though designed for everyday wear, can weaken with time if not properly cared for. Avoid wearing chains while sleeping as they can tangle and stretch, causing damage. Be mindful when chains catch on clothing, as even unnoticeable stress can compromise the links. To extend their life, store them carefully and handle them gently, removing them first when undressing and putting them on last after dressing to avoid accidental catches.

Mindful Handling of Fine Earrings

Our earrings are delicate and require careful handling, particularly when inserting or removing them. Avoid putting too much pressure on posts and backs to prevent bending or breakage. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by a gentle pat dry with a soft cloth, will help maintain their luster. Use a gold or silver polishing cloth for a more thorough clean, and store them properly to prevent exposure to harsh surfaces or chemicals that can tarnish the metal.

Gentle Care of your Tennis Piece

Your tennis piece is an investment and has been crafted to stand the test of time. To help maintain its beauty and condition, we recommend avoiding wearing it during activities such as sleeping, exercising, swimming, or cleaning. It’s also best to avoid excessive pulling or bending, as the flexible design can be delicate. When not in use, we suggest storing your tennis piece flat in the box provided.
When wearing your bracelet, please ensure the tongue and box clasp are securely fastened, along with the safety latches, to help prevent accidental loss.
When putting your bracelet on or taking it off, we recommend holding it by the sides of the rigid box clasp and tongue rather than pressing on the chain itself. The chain is made up of intricate links, and avoiding pressure in this area helps preserve the integrity of the piece. If possible, having someone assist you when putting the bracelet on or taking it off can be very helpful, use our guide here so as not to damage the setting.
