Jewellery Care Instructions
Your ake ake jewelleries and accessories are created by our silversmiths who delicately craft each and every piece with our highest standards and utter expertises. In order to look after your ake ake jewelleries so that they stay forever fierce, please take note of the following care instructions.
USAGE
Your ake ake jewellery is crafted to last a lifetime and more. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing at last 92.5% by weight. Naturally, sterling silver is strong and tough through sweats, water, rain or any daily activities. But in order to retain its original fierceness and prevent from faster natural tarnishing, we recommend that you avoid activities include outdoor households, sports, showering, swimming, exercising at the gym or other activities that might expose to chemicals or abrasive materials.
STORAGE
The appropriate storage is as important as the right usage. At the time of purchase, your ake ake jewellery comes with a storage pouch and/or a protective box. When not in use, we recommend that you always keep your jewellery dry and store in its original pouch/box or any air-tight container that is properly lined to avoid scratches.
GENERAL CLEANING PRACTICES
1 Silver Jewellery (Oxidised Effect)
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to sweats, chlorine, humidity and other strong chemicals. Cosmetics such as lotions, creams and fragrances can also have negative effects towards the finishing of your silver jewellery. Like other precious metals, sterling silver requires cleaning from time to time. In order to clean your silver jewellery, please
Use the originally provided silver polishing cloth and rub gently on the silver part.
For the very tarnished jewellery, ake ake’s cleaning cream and/or solution that are specifically formulated to clean silver can be used.
If not sure how to clean your ake ake jewellery, please take your jewellery to one of your service representatives for a silver spa service, which is complementary for all ake ake jewelleries.
2 Silver Jewellery with Precious Metal Platings
Similar to silver jewellery without platings (oxidised effect), your plated jewellery should avoid negative influences that could tarnish the finishings of your ake ake jewellery. Silver polishing cloth can be used to wipe out oxidised tarnishes but do NOT forcefully rub as it may cause such plating to fade.
If not sure how to clean your ake ake jewellery, please take your jewellery to one of your service representatives for a silver spa service. Your plated jewellery comes with one-time complimentary plating service that dramatically revitalises the colour and shine of your plated jewellery.
3 Precious Metal Jewellery (Gold / Platinum)
