Caring for your jewellery

Jewellery should be put on last and taken off first while dressing to avoid contact with chemicals.

Always store in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperatures.

Store items separately to avoid scratching and clean your jewellery with a soft chamois.

How To Accessorise

Don't be afraid of attracting attention with your accessories.

Wear a longer necklace to accentuate your height and appear taller.

The old rule of not mixing metals is out: sometimes rules were made to be broken!

Glass Pearls

Glass pearls are a great alternative if you do not want to spend too much on pearl jewellery pieces. Glass and plastic pearls have become very popular due to the great variety of colours and the long-lasting quality of their finish.

Pearl

A smooth, lustrous, variously colored deposit, chiefly calcium carbonate, formed around a grain of sand or other foreign matter in the shells of certain mollusks and valued as a gem.
One that is highly regarded for its beauty or value.

Pearls symbolize purity, spiritual transformation, charity, honesty, humility, wisdom and integrity. Pearls can stimulate your femininity and help with self acceptance assurance. They can help lift your spirits and make you feel calm and beautiful.

The pearl is a lunar symbol, also representing water and woman. These primary meanings are seen on a universal scale, throughout mythology. They are attributes of angelic perfection, which is only achieved by transmutation, and not freely given.

Since ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of unblemished perfection. It is the oldest known gem, and for centuries it was considered the most valuable.

The Latin word for pearl literally means "unique", attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical.
