Materials used in all Treasures & Heart pieces are carefully selected to ensure the best quality possible. Jewelry by nature is delicate and needs to be cared for appropriately. However, here are a few recommendations to ensure that your jewelry will last for longer.

                      EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR JEWELLERY

Treasures & Heart pieces are Sterling Silver or stainless steel which is then plated in either 18k gold or platinum. An extra layering of tarnish resistance is added to extend the life span of the jewelry.To extend the longevity of your pieces we recommend they stay away from perfumes, lotions and other chemicals which could damage the silver.
All our pieces have hand-set stones and therefore should be cared for accordingly.
Some of our pieces are 18k yellow gold plated. This plating will eventually wear away, to avoid this we recommend to not wear the jewelry during any sport or activity which involves handy work.
Silver is an extremely malleable metal meaning that it bends super easily (only negative of silver). If you see your ring start to bend out of shape we recommend you gently try to bend it back into position as this also can cause the prongs holding the stones in place to open. 
We recommend you frequently clean your pieces with a jewelry cloth or soft tissue to remove any built up residue to make sure they remain a beautiful silver color for years to come.
If your stones become cloudy due to a build up of sweat and lotions place the jewelry in a tub of luke warm water with a drop of dish soap and give them a gentle brush. A soft-bristle toothbrush is usually great for this!
                                                     

MATERIALS USED

Cubic Zirconia is the ultimate diamond alternative, a high grade CZ stone shares many of the same qualities of a diamond, producing more flashes of color and sparkle than its expensive sister! CZ stones are more ethical and of course a less expensive alternative.

Platinum Plating is used to enhance the durability of sterling silver. It is a rare precious material which can be 10-25x more expensive than gold, the particular platinum plating we use is rhodium. Most of our jewelry is plated to protect the silver from scratches and wear.
