Wear & Tear
What do we mean by wear and tear?
This is the results of life we can see on jewellery. Many activities can cause wear and tear, such as handwashing while wearing jewellery, or rifling through handbags. Scratches on the metal, stones becoming loose or falling out, the dulling or breaking-off of pearls are some examples.
Being mindful of when you wear your jewellery is a part of looking after it.
Not looking after jewellery would include wearing it during sport, gardening, or DIY. These activities can result in damage ‘for example in broken claws or chipped stones’ which we regard as beyond ‘normal wear and tear’.
In addition to these, pearls should not have perfume sprayed on them, sometimes people send back strings to be re-strung and we can smell perfume. This would void the guarantee.
Silver tarnish
Silver tarnish is a normal process associated with that metal. We use rhodium plating to prevent tarnishing of the jewellery and to maximise the rhodium plating life, we recommend that you do not polish or use jewellery cleaner until the tarnish appears. We further recommend that you do not swim or bathe in your silver jewellery, and avoid using perfumes and body lotions while wearing the piece.
Try hard not to scratch or damage the surface by being mindful of what you do while wearing your jewellery.
What to do if your silver tarnishes
Return to any Cornwall Gold store for a complimentary clean with a silver polish cloth.
Two Year Warranty
Each Cornwall Gold piece is guaranteed for two years. Our jewellery can last for generations, but must be looked after properly; for more information on how to look after your jewellery and pearls, visit our Jewellery Care section here.
If your jewellery needs repair within two years from the date of purchase, please follow the returns procedure outlined in the returns & exchange section above. Please note that loss of plating and tarnishing of silver and brass jewellery naturally occurs and are therefore excluded from the warranty.
