Jewellery Quality & Care
Quality
At Meld the quality of our jewellery is extremely important to us. We want our customers to be able to wear their jewels every day, with peace of mind, but it’s important to care for them well to help them to live their best life.
All our gold plated jewellery is made by electroplating 18k or 14K gold onto stainless steel, high quality brass or 925 Sterling Silver.
As metals like gold and silver are very delicate, without the right care they can go through a process called oxidation and fade over time. Gold plated jewellery can also experience discolouration when exposed to a number of chemicals, salt water, perfumes and lotions so to keep your pieces looking their best for as long as possible be sure to read through our full Care Guide below.
Care Guide
Store your jewellery in a soft pouch, indoors, in a temperature controlled environment. It is best to keep your pieces out of humidity and direct sunlight.
Use the microfibre polishing cloth we supply with every purchase to brighten up your jewellery and remove any chemical residue or tarnishing.
To keep your pieces looking their best for longer, we recommend removing them before swimming, gymming, bathing or sleeping.
Avoid contact with chemicals, salt water, perfumes and lotions to increase the longevity of your jewellery pieces.
Pieces with stones are susceptible to becoming dislodged or chipped when stored incorrectly so try to keep them protected in a soft jewellery pouch.
Stock & Packaging
We keep our stock levels conservative to avoid creating unnecessary waste, while being nimble enough to deliver the pieces you want, on time.
Our box and pouch packaging comes with each order. It is beautifully crafted and designed to be reused to store your jewels and is perfect for gifting.
