Warranty and Care

Sterling Silver and Solid Gold (9k, 14k, 18k offerings)
Sterling silver and solid gold pieces can be cleaned using a polishing cloth or ideally a jewellery cleansing solution. Although these pieces are made using solid Australian metals, we still recommend removing them while bathing, showering and/or engaging in physical exercise. This will ensure both the metal and/or stones and diamonds used remain in pristine condition for years to come.

Gold Vermeil
While our gold vermeil items are of the highest quality, they are not indestructible. These pieces should be cleaned gently with a dry, soft polishing cloth (with no jewellery cleansing solution added). Do not use abrasive clothes such as tissue paper or paper towel. As with all non-solid gold or silver pieces, the metal coating will eventually wear away and will need to be replated every few years.

Please note that improper care will not be considereed a manufacturing fault.

We recommend removing your jewellery when you shower, bathe and swim (in both chlorinated or sea water) as moisture will damage your plating (Gold Vermeil items).

Please avoice spraying perfume and chemicals (cleaning and others) and applying creams, lotions or oils directly on your jewellery. This will ensure that your plating lasts for as long as possible.

Barefoot and Blonde also recommends removing your jewellery while engaging in exercise and/or gardening. While very durable, our jewellery is not indestructable and may break if pulled during vigorous activities.

All Barefoot and Blonde bespoke jewellery (Solid Gold pieces) are subject to our six (12) month warranty policy and will cover the piece under normal wear.
