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
As the name suggests, smoky quartz belongs to the quartz mineral family along with rose quartz, citrine and amethyst. 
Smoky quartz is favoured for its light orangey brown to deep chocolate brown hues and was ones mined in the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland, making this gem a particular favourite among highlanders for many years. Smoky quartz was also made popular during the late Victorian period, whilst the Queen was mourning the loss of her beloved Prince Albert, as “morion” smoky quartz (a very dark, almost black variety of quartz) was an alternative to the more expensive Whitby Jet that the Queen herself wore. 
 
You will rarely see smoky quartz cut under one carat, the crystals grow to large sizes which means smoky quartz specimens can be cut too large, unusual and fascinating shapes and styles. 
 
Smoky quartz has good durability and is suitable for use in all kinds of jewellery but care should always be taken when wearing, taking off or putting on your jewellery as quartz has a hardness of 7 and will be scratched by gems with a higher hardness rating.
 
To prolong the life of your gems we suggest putting your jewellery on after any make-up, perfumes or lotions. 
 
Smoky quartz is usually only treated in two ways. Irradiation may be used to to create brown colouration in colourless quartz and heat may be used to lighten the colour of a dark smoky quartz. Both if these treatments are common practise in todays market, they are both stable (permanent) treatments and are both undetectable. 
Like most quartz, heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lighten the colour in a smoky quartz. For this reason it is always best to avoid steam cleaning smoky quartz. Ultrasonic cleaners are usually safe to use but you can also clean your jewellery at home using warm water and a soft brush.
