Si vous souhaitez que vos bijoux durent des années, prenez-en soin chaque fois que vous les portez et lorsque vous les rangez.
For gold plated jewellery, the best way to maintain its appearance is to remove it before cleaning, crafting, playing sports, swimming, showering or sleeping.
Please note that over time, water, perfume and rubbing can damage gold plated jewellery. They should therefore be taken care of and cherished.
The best way to protect your piece is to put it back in its jewellery box and clean it occasionally with a soft cloth.
A material with character
Solid brass is part of the Bold Lines aesthetic. Its warm colour and ability to develop a natural patina are part of what makes each piece unique. With a little care, you can keep your jewellery looking beautiful for years.
Brass naturally changes over time. Depending on your skin's pH and how you wear your jewellery, your piece may darken or brighten. Warm weather, perspiration, sunscreen, skincare and perfume can speed up this natural process.
Three simple habits :
- Put your jewellery on after skincare, sunscreen, perfume and makeup.
- Remove it before swimming, showering and exercising.
- Store it in your Bold Lines jewellery box when you're not wearing it.
Don't worry, this is natural oxidation, not damage. The original shine can usually be restored with gentle cleaning and polishing.
If your brass jewellery begins to lose its shine, it's easy to restore.
For light tarnishing :
The natural acidity of the tomato helps remove oxidation and restore the brass's original shine.
For more stubborn marks:
Occasionally, sunscreen mixed with perspiration can leave stubborn stains on brass. If this happens, use a small amount of Brasso, available from most supermarkets and hardware stores. Apply with a soft cloth, gently polish the affected area, then buff clean. This should help remove stubborn marks and restore the jewellery's shine.
Use Brasso only on untreated brass, not on gold-plated pieces.
– À ranger avec soin : conservez vos pièces dans leur étui pour les protéger de la lumière du soleil, de l’humidité, de la poussière et autres éléments.
– Dernière étape de votre routine : mettez vos bijoux après vos soins de la peau, votre parfum ou votre maquillage – les produits cosmétiques peuvent être agressifs pour les matériaux délicats.
– Laissez-les se reposer : retirez vos bijoux avant de nager, de prendre une douche, de faire du sport ou de dormir pour les garder en parfait état.
