FAQs and Jewellery Care
How do I take care of GSO jewellery?
All GSO jewellery is crafted to the highest quality to ensure that it keeps its shine for as long as possible. However, as with all jewellery, there are things you can do to help maintain your item for as long as possible.
Using a soft lint free cloth, periodically wipe your jewellery. This will keep your jewellery looking shiny. Ideally, store your GSO purchases in a dark, cool and dry place within an air tight box or bag to help reduce scratching and tangling. We would recommend you to keep it in the packaging it arrived in. The packaging is specifically designed to minimise tangling- and it is a cute display box!
Try not to expose your jewellery to perfumes, lotions or any acidic liquids, as this may cause the plating to fade over time. Our plated jewellery is water proof and will not tarnish. However, we would advise removing all jewellery while in water and avoid extreme temperatures. Please note, plated jewellery may naturally fade over time. This is not a fault and can be avoided by caring for your jewellery as detailed above.
Our necklaces, bracelets and anklets are all hypoallergenic and therefore can be worn in water, but do we not recommend this.
My skin is sensitive. Will these give me an allergic reaction?
GSO jewellery is made from the highest quality materials including sterling silver, 18/14k gold. However, as in all jewellery, there is naturally occurring trace amounts of nickel present. This may cause some people to experience allergic reactions to the jewellery. However, these amounts are so low that only people who are hypersensitive may react to them.
Can I wear my GSO jewellery in the shower?
Our necklaces, bracelets and anklets have stood the test of water and sweat, and has come out looking new. You'll be impressed with being able to wear our pieces pretty much anywhere. The materials used are stainless steel, to ensure you can wear your jewellery as often as you want! However, we do recommend to promote the longevity of any jewellery, care should be taken to look after it, clean it, and keep it in the jewellery case that arrived with it. Our rings are made out of alloy, and therefore we recommend keeping them in packaging to prolong their wear.
Will I turn green?
Our necklaces, bracelets and anklets will not turn you green. Our ring stacks are made out of alloy or copper, which is known to oxidise with prolonged wear. This is harmless, but we recommend you take proper care of your rings to prolong their wear.
