CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion and suitable for everyday wear. Rinse and dry after exposure to sweat, seawater or chlorinated water.
Titanium is well suited to everyday wear. Check your jewellery regularly and make sure threaded or push-in ends remain secure.
After contact with sweat, seawater or chlorinated water, rinse your jewellery with clean water and dry it thoroughly using a soft cloth.
Clean gently using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth before wearing or storing.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
