We have a special love and respect for raw materials. Like scars and wrinkles on human bodies are signs of an eventful life, wear and cuts on a piece of jewelry will be signs of its story and memories made.
General care
Please store your piece of jewellery in a box when not worn.
To slow down the process of ageing, make sure to remove your jewellery before contact with water, perfume, lotions or chemicals that can damage your jewellery, and avoid damp rooms. Also remove your jewellery when doing sports.
Brass and Nano-coated brass
Brass will oxidise with time, embrace it or get the original color back with a polishing agent for brass or copper.
925 Sterling silver
Silver is a soft metal meaning it will get nicks and notches with frequent use. When silver oxidises (darkens) it can be cleaned with a silver polishing agent or silver polishing cloth.
Silver and gold plating on brass
All of our plated pieces are minimum 1 micron plated on brass, and we use 24k gold when gold plating. Depending on use, all plated pieces will wear, each revealing in it´s own unique way. The brass base has a gold tone so when exposed with wear, the gold tone underneath will show.
Plated pieces can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth.
Gold plating on Sterling silver
All of our plated pieces are minimum 1 micron 24 carat gold plated on Sterling silver. Depending on use, all plated pieces will wear, each revealing in it´s own unique way. The Sterling base has a silver tone so when exposed with wear, the silver tone underneath will show.
Plated pieces can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth.
It is possible to have a sterling silver piece of jewellery re-plated or polished down to the base metal, please contact your local jewellery store or goldsmith for advice and service. Fees will apply and this is paid individually by you as a customer.
We hope you will love your piece of Cornelia Webb Jewellery, handle with above care and it will be your companion for years to come.
