How to take care of your jewellery
Sophie makes every piece by hand using metals like bronze, copper, gilding metal (similar to brass), brass, silver and gold.
Some pieces are highly polished, some have patina or are oxidised (special colour treatment).
Silver jewellery pieces are provided with an anti-tarnish patch set within the jewellery box and also come with a silver polishing cloth to revive them, whenever needed.
All pieces will tarnish naturally when not worn. However you can follow those simple steps to keep them as pristine as possible.
- keep your jewellery away from water activity (bathing, swimming, washing) and humidity in general;
- avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions or other chemicals;
- after wear, place your jewellery piece back in the pouch provided, which contains a black anti-tarnish patch to limit oxidation through time.
Fitting
Bangles
All bangles currently available in the shop are fully closed (soldered seam) and rigid. It is therefore important to know if your hand will fit through before ordering to avoid disappointment.
To find out if you will be able to pass your hand through, measure the width of your palm flat with a ruler as shown on the photo and refer to the table of measurements (cm and inches).
The inner diameter of each bangle is indicated on its dedicated page.
Necklaces and pendants
The photo below illustrates how the various lengths of chains sit on the chest.
The length of necklaces and pendants is indicated on each product page. Some also have clasps allowing to adjust the length for more comfort and versatility.
