Jewelry care

All Botteguccia jewelry are subjected to galvanic treatments (rhodium and gilding) of excellent quality that make our jewelry hypoallergenic and nickel-free, as well as durable over time.

In fact, these same galvanic processes also involve the use of substances that can counteract the natural oxidation process.

However here are some useful tips for the care of your jewelry:

HOW TO STORE JEWELRY

- jewellery must be treated gently and carefully so that it can be kept intact as long as possible;

-Store your jewelry in a jewelry box or bag when not in use because it is better protected against scratches, light and air.

Do not store them in damp places. 

- it is important that the jewellery is not worn in thermal waters and you should avoid contact with chlorine-containing products or cleaning products, as the risk of deterioration increases. In general jewelry is sensitive to beauty products, chemicals and acids and it is therefore better to avoid direct contact with sprays or hair dyes, perfumes, creams, detergents, etc...

The sheen and long life of the plating may also depend on the level of perspiration and even the natural pH of your skin. For this reason it is especially important to take special care of gold-plated jewelry.

HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY 

- Pour a small amount of mild soap into warm water and gently use a small, soft toothbrush to clean your jewelry. 

Toothbrushes are ideal for cleaning jewelry with intricate details that may be difficult to clean. If dirt is difficult to remove, dip the jewelry in clean water. IMPORTANT: Gold-plated jewelry requires additional care. Using the toothbrush intensively may cause the plating to disappear
