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
Aquamarine is a blue variety of beryl which means it belongs to the same mineral family as emerald and morganite.
Its name is derived from Latin ‘mare aquam’ which literally means sea water because of its striking ocean blue hue.
Aquamarine is a relatively durable stone with a hardness rating of 7.5 to 8, but this means it may still be scratched by harder gemstones and everyday items so care should always be taken when wearing, storing, taking off or putting on your aquamarine jewellery.
To prolong the life of the stones we recommend putting on your jewellery after any makeup, hair products, lotions and perfumes.
Aquamarine can be sensitive to heat so we recommend storing your aquamarine jewellery in a relatively cool place, keep it out of direct sunlight and do not wear it if it will be exposed to excessive heat for a prolonged period of time.
Most aquamarines are fine to be ultrasonic and steam cleaned unless they have feathers (fractures) or liquid filled inclusions.
You can clean your aquamarine jewellery from home using a gem and jewellery dip or cloth which can be purchased from us, or with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
A lot of aquamarines are heat treated to remove secondary yellow colourations. This is a common and stable (permanent) treatment that cannot be detected, so always assume aquamarines have been subjected to colour enhancing heat treatment unless otherwise stated.
