JEWELLERY CARE

Lott Studio jewellery is made exclusively from fine metals, Sterling Silver and Gold. Each piece has been designed in keeping with the studios timeless aesthetic with an intention to last. Each piece is handmade with unique textures and finishes and should be handled with care. With proper care, your jewellery can be enjoyed for a lifetime. 

To avoid tarnishing metals or harming any precious stones remove your jewellery when using detergents or chemicals, while exercising or applying makeup, when showering, and before bed. We recommend storing your jewellery in a clean and dry location.

To clean your pieces gently wash under warm water with a toothbrush and a mild detergent, rinse then dry with a soft cloth. To clean fine chain create a paste with water and baking soda and gently rub it onto the chain. Soak in a small ceramic dish with warm water for a few minutes and rinse. Pad dry with a soft paper towel. Avoid running fine chain through a polishing cloth as this process can stretch delicate links. All snake chain is delicate and requires professional cleaning, please visit the studio to have your piece cleaned in the ultrasonic cleaner.  

Always be particularly cautious when handling delicate chain, pieces with pearls or stones. Please note all of our 9k white gold pieces are made using solid gold with a rhodium plating. As with all platings this will wear off over time, contact the studio directly if you wish to have any white gold re-plated. 

 

NOTES ON DIAMONDS & PRECIOUS STONES:

Avoid over touching the diamond directly, the oil and dirt you pass on from your fingers can cloud the diamond.
 
Store diamond pieces separately in tins provided.

We recommend having your custom jewellery checked by the studio annually. We will be able to check your stone and setting, and professionally clean your piece. Once a piece is damaged it is difficult to repair and can result in a re-build.
