Yes, our jewellery's designed to wear everyday. However, we recommend removing during activities like sports, swimming, or cleaning to avoid damage from impact, chemicals, or sweat.
Can I wear my jewellery in the shower?
It's best to avoid wearing your jewelry in the shower, especially pieces made from precious metals like gold and silver. Soap and water can cause build-up, and exposure to chemicals in shampoos and body washes can dull the finish over time.

It's recommended to clean your jewelry every few weeks to keep it looking its best. For pieces worn daily, such as rings or bracelets, you might want to clean them more frequently to remove dirt and oils that can accumulate.
How should I store jewelry when travelling?
When travelling, store jewelry in a travel case with individual compartments to prevent pieces from tangling or scratching. For delicate items, use soft pouches or wrap them in a soft cloth. Avoid packing jewelry loose in your luggage and consider keeping valuable items in your carry-on for added security.
