White Gold
White gold is not found naturally, it is created by mixing natural yellow gold with silver coloured metals, such as silver and palladium to lighten the colour. Despite this, white gold alloys are still light yellow in colour and a layer of a silver coloured metal called rhodium is added over the top to give white gold its final finish.
Though rhodium is a durable metal this coating will eventually wear off exposing the light yellow coloured gold underneath and a new layer of rhodium will have to be applied. Please bare this in mind when decided to buy any white gold jewellery and note that rhodium coatings on rings will wear off quicker than on other types of jewellery due to the fact that your ring will rub against everyday items more so than pendants, earrings and bracelets.
We offer a free cleaning, polishing and rhodium re-plating service on all white gold jewellery that has been purchased from us to ensure your jewellery is always looking its best.
 
Care and Cleaning
Amethyst is perhaps the most well known member of the quartz family and is prized for its vivid purple colouration. 
Amethyst has a hardness of 7 meaning it may be scratched by some everyday objects and harder gemstones, for this reason care should always be taken when wearing, storing, taking off or putting on your jewellery. 
 
To prolong the life of the stones we recommend putting on you amethyst jewellery after and make-up, hair products, lotions or perfumes. 
 
In some cases, if amethyst is exposed to sunlight or strong artificial light for prolonged periods of time the colour can fade leaving the stone a pale purpleish grey or even colourless. Be sure to store your amethyst jewellery away from direct sunlight and bright LED lighting. 
Amethyst is also sensitive to sudden rises in temperature and this can cause fractures within the stone. For this reason amethyst jewellery should never be steam cleaned but ultrasonic cleaning is usually safe. 
You can clean your amethyst jewellery from home using a jewellery and gemstone dip or cloth which can be purchased from us, or with warm soapy water and a soft brush. 
 
Amethyst is not commonly treated unless to produce citrine or green quartz from pale amethyst.
