Jewellery Care

All Francisca Rendic Jewellery Designer products are handmade using sterling silver and gold, produced in Australia with Australian raw materials.

Storage

Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place. For optimal results, wrap each piece separately in a moisture-free plastic bag. This prevents chemical reactions with environmental factors and body oils, which can cause silver to oxidize. Proper storage ensures your silver remains clean and bright.

Cleaning

  • Polishing Cloth: Use a polishing cloth for gentle rubbing and buffing to remove mild tarnishing. These clothes are impregnated with a polishing compound, providing long-lasting use and an amazing shine.
  • Soap and Water: Clean your jewellery with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to remove grease and grime.
  • Avoid Contact: Keep your jewellery away from perfume, hairspray, saltwater, and cleaning products to prevent tarnishing.

For oxidized sterling silver, which is intentionally darkened to enhance detail and depth, clean with care to avoid scrubbing off the effect.

Customer Sales Service (CSS)

Our CSS offers additional services such as cleaning and polishing, re-oxidizing, scratch removal, and ring resizing (depending on the design).

Daily Wear

Wear your 925 sterling silver jewellery regularly. Storing it away for special occasions won't prevent tarnishing. If you take proper care of your jewellery, it will last a lifetime and you can pass it down as a treasured heirloom.

Sterling Silver

Francisca Rendic Jewellery Designer uses only sterling silver, an alloy containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination provides the necessary strength while preserving the precious metal's ductility and appearance.

Fine silver, at 99.9% purity, is too soft for practical use as it may scratch or bend easily. Therefore, manufacturers alloy it with copper to enhance its strength and durability.
