Materials and Care
At STORYMADE, we believe your jewellery should be as lasting as the meaning behind it. Our pieces are crafted exclusively from genuine, ethically sourced precious metals and natural gemstones. To keep your treasures looking beautiful for years to come, please follow our care guide below.
✦ Our Materials
Ethical & Genuine Metals
We are committed to integrity in every piece we create. We work solely with genuine precious metals sourced through trusted, ethical supply chains, ensuring your jewellery is beautiful both inside and out.
9ct Yellow Gold
We use 9ct yellow gold for its beautiful warm glow and exceptional durability. Unlike plated jewellery, solid 9ct gold will not peel or wear away over time. It is a timeless, high quality choice that stands up to daily wear while maintaining its value.
Sterling Silver
Our silver pieces are crafted from genuine sterling silver. Known for its brilliant shine and versatility, sterling silver is a classic precious metal that complements every style.
Ethically Sourced Natural Gemstones
We hand select genuine gemstones for their unique character and vibrancy. Every single stone is ethically sourced, meaning you can wear your piece with absolute peace of mind. Because we use natural stones, every piece is one of a kind, featuring subtle variations in colour and inclusions that tell their own story.
✦ Care Instructions
Daily Wear
- Last On, First Off: Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray before putting on your jewellery to avoid chemical buildup.
- Avoid Water: Remove your rings and bracelets before swimming, showering, or washing up. Chlorine and saltwater can dull the shine of silver and gold.
- Active Lifestyle: We recommend removing jewellery during intense exercise or manual tasks to prevent scratches or snagging.
Cleaning Your Jewellery
- Gold and Silver: Use a soft, lint free cloth to gently polish your pieces and remove surface oils. For a deeper clean, use warm soapy water and a soft bristled brush, ensuring you dry the piece thoroughly afterwards.
- Gemstones: Avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners or steam. Simply wipe gemstones with a clean, damp cloth to maintain their natural sparkle.
Storage
- Cool and Dry: Store your jewellery in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Prevent Tarnish and Scratches: Keep pieces separate inside your STORYMADE jewellery box to protect them from dust, light, and accidental scratches.
✨ A Quick Tip on Tarnish: Sterling silver can naturally dull or tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. Don't worry if this happens, it is completely normal for genuine silver and can easily be polished with a soft jewellery cloth to look brand new again!
