Jewellery care
Solid silver and solid gold are made to be worn, every day. A little care keeps them looking their best.
Sterling silver
Our silver is 925 sterling silver: 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, because pure silver is too soft to wear. Over time it can react with air, moisture, sweat and some products. A few minutes with your Antares polishing cloth brings the shine back.
9ct gold
Solid 9ct gold is strong and keeps its warm colour through everyday wear. It can slowly react with air, moisture and products too, and a gentle buff with the polishing cloth brings it back.
Every piece
- Store it in its Antares box, somewhere dry and out of direct sun.
- Put perfume, lotion and sunscreen on before your jewellery, not after.
- Take it off for swimming, the gym and cleaning. Chlorine and household chemicals are the hardest on silver.
- If it meets cosmetics, wash it gently in warm soapy water and dry it well.
- Skip abrasive brushes and harsh chemicals like dishwashing liquid, chlorine and bleach.
We'll look after you
Every piece is covered by a 5-year warranty against faults, and we're here to help for as long as you wear it. If anything happens to your piece, email us at friends@antaresjewellery.com.au and we'll help put it right. Please come to us first for repairs or resizing, as work done elsewhere voids the warranty.
