Each RFL piece is handmade from precious metals and requires delicate care. We recommend storing your jewellery in a cool, dark place when not worn. Sterling Silver will naturally oxidise over time when it is exposed to air, liquid and skin. To maintain the finish, please use a silver cleaning agent or polishing cloth and gently clean. Gold Vermeil is a thick layer of gold over a base of sterling silver and is vulnerable to knocks, chlorine, soap, make-up, perfume and sweat as these agents can strip the gold. Vermeil will naturally wear over time, so we recommend removing your jewellery when sleeping, exercising, swimming or showering to increase the longevity of your piece. Gently clean use a soft cloth without any polishing agents or chemicals.
