Care & keepsake longevity
How do I look after a timber piece?
Dust with a dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators. A little hard wax oil every couple of years if it starts to look dry.
How do I look after vermeil jewelry?
Keep it away from perfume, hairspray and chlorine, and wipe it with the cloth we send. Vermeil is a thick layer of gold over silver rather than a plating, so it will outlast the chain if you are even slightly careful.
Will the leather charm change colour?
Yes, and that is the point. Vegetable-tanned leather starts pale and goes honey, then chestnut, then dark at the edges where you handle it. It ends up looking better than the day it arrived.
Can I wear a memorial piece every day?
The jewelry, yes — that is what it is for. The stone pieces are meant to be handled rather than carried in a pocket with keys.
