Jewellery Care and Size Guide

Jewellery Care

The majority of our jewellery is composed by steel and stainless steel. The gold pieces are coated with 14k gold, which allows the colour to last longer and avoids tarnish.

Our products are meant to be long-lasting and keep the colour even when exposed to water. However, to maintain the beauty of your items we do recommend giving them an occasional break and avoiding contact harsh chemicals – including parfum, moisturizer and antibacterial gel, as these may damage the layer of metal plating and cause discoloration. Wear your jewellery after applying these types of products to maintain the colour.

 

We also recommend the following:

 

  • If needed, clean your jewellery with a soft dry cloth to restore the shine. Do not use any jewellery cleaning products;
  • Whilst it does not tarnish, stainless steel jewellery can be scratched. Store your jewellery separately, or in a jewellery box to prevent any scratches or any other external elements.

 

If you have any doubt or concerns, please contact us at info@velviestore.com.

There are two methods to determine your ring size:

 

  1. Pick up a ring you already own and measure its diameter with a ruler/measuring tape. Make sure to measure the widest past of the ring

 

The chart below will guide on the size you should get.

 

  1. If you don’t own any ring, take a look at the following steps:

 

  • Get a piece of string and wrap it around the finger you want to use the ring on (make sure the paper sits firmly on the finger);
  • Mark the area where the two ends of paper strip meet;
  • Use a ruler to measure the length in millimeters to give you the circumference;
  • Use the chart below to get the right size.

Always measure your size when your hands are warmer, since cold fingers have the tendency to become smaller.

If you have doubts in between two sizes, we recommend you choose the bigger.
