Jewellery Care and Materials

Jewellery care

Each Blest. charm is handmade in Portugal, plated by sterling silver or solid gold, responsibly sourced to guarantee the highest quality. A talisman so dear to you deserves your gentle devotion.
After many years on the market, we can proudly guarantee that our products are waterproof. Medallions can be used in the shower and while swimming in the sea. 
In order to avoid blows to and marks on handcrafted surfaces fine jewellery must be worn with caution. It must not be directly exposed to hard and rough objects that may cause damage to the precious metal – among these other pieces of jewellery, door knobs, bannisters, garden tools, tools and stoneware and clay pottery.
 

Oxidised silver

Oxidising is a treatment of the precious metal surface making the silver appear greyish black. Oxidised silver jewellery used daily becomes polished in exposed areas – grooves and dents are better protected – and will in time wear off entirely on smooth surfaces.  

Oxidised silver jewellery must not be exposed to jewellery detergents, which will only destroy the oxidised surface. An oxidised silver surface must only be cleaned with special jewellery cleaning cloth.

Note: Gold plated jewellery does not oxidize. 

Enamel colouring

Blest. signature enamel medallions are handmade, coloured with various colours, making the jewellery fashionable and unique. 

Elastic band, cotton cord and silk

Our bracelets are made from cotton, silk or polyester.  Although from a high quality material, it may become damaged or discoloured if submerged in water and by daily use. The band can stretch over time, which is not a defect of the product.

Since cotton is natural material, the colour of the bracelets may fade after some time. Please be mindful that daily use creates slightly worn look to the bracelets. This is a natural reaction of the material and will therefore not be accepted as consumer complaint.

Silk bracelets are a natural product and must be treated gently and with care.  Daily use may cause wear to the silk fabric – just as it would to any other silk product, e.g. a silk blouse. Exposing the silk to water, oils, lotions, perfume, detergents etc. may change the appearance of the bracelet drastically. Charms may leave black marks on a silk bracelet. This is a natural reaction to the precious metal’s encounter with the silk and will therefore not be accepted as consumer complaint.

Store your Blest. away from natural sunlight and heat, in a clean and dry place (When storing in damp and hot conditions, jewellery can tarnish)
Use of silver polishing liquids, silver dips, ultrasonic cleaning and a tumbler should be avoided with enameled/coloured silver plated products
Enamel coloured medallions are sensitive for direct sun light. The colour naturally fades when exposed to intense sun heat. 
Blest. is not suitable for little children where is a danger of swallowing the small parts.
