Care and Materials

STORING YOUR JEWELS
Store your pieces individually in your Sunset Daughter's soft-lined box so they don’t rub together, scratch or tangle. Remember to keep chains fastened so they don’t become a tangled mess. 

We suggest storing your gold vermeil and silver jewellery in a dark, cool and dry place. Over time and wear, sterling silver will naturally become oxidised and eventually tarnish. Storing your silver jewellery in a sealed plastic bag or an airtight box when not being worn will keep the air out that causes oxidation. Occasional cleaning is recommended to maintain shine and keep oxidation at bay.

Jewellery is susceptible to damage from chemicals present in perfume, hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, body oils, sun tan lotion and deodorant.

LOVE YOUR JEWELS
Avoid swimming or showering while wearing your gold-plated or silver jewellery, and remove rings when washing hands. Chlorine, salt water and fresh water can damage precious metals and gemstones by dulling or eroding them over time. Gold and silver are particularly susceptible to damage from chlorine, which can permanently damage or discolour them. Soapy water and moisturisers can also leave a thin film which will dull your jewels.

CLEANING YOUR JEWELS
Clean your jewellery carefully with our Sunset Daughter's cleaning cloth. It's soft, non-abrasive and lint-free that helps maintain the original shine. 
We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths which have been treated with cleaners or polishing agents.

18CT GOLD VERMEIL - (‘ver-may’)
We predominantly produce our jewellery collections in 18ct Gold Vermeil (pronounced ‘ver-may’) with a base of 925 sterling silver.

There is lots to love about Gold Vermeil. The thickness of the gold must be a minimum of 2.5 microns. Gold Vermeil is plated with a process known as ‘electrolysis’, making the jewellery durable.

Our ethically sourced jewellery is created with premium materials for long-lasting wear and is available in sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil.

MATERIALS
Each Sunset Daughter's piece is produced free of toxic metals including lead and cadmium, ensuring high safety standards for our makers and our customers.
