GENERAL USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure that your Efva Attling jewellery gives you pleasure for many years, it is important to take care of it in the best way possible.

Keep it in the accompanying box when not wearing it. Wipe with a polishing cloth after each use to remove makeup, grease, odors, etc. Take jewellery containing precious stones to a jeweler once a year to check stones and mountings. Remove your jewellery when bathing, doing the dishes, gardening, etc. to protect it from unnecessary wear. Avoid sleeping with jewellery on, which also exposes it to unnecessarily hard wear. No metal, including silver and gold, can tolerate salt or chlorinated water.

WHITE GOLD JEWELLERY

White gold jewellery is electro-plated with rhodium, a white precious metal, to give it additional luster, which can wear off. The outer layer can be renewed by taking the piece to a jewelry store for re-plating if so desired.

SILVER JEWELLERY

Efva Attling Stockholm uses nickel free 925 silver. Silver can sometimes darken, i.e. become oxidized. This can be due to the minerals and salts secreted by the body and can be remedied using "Silver dip", a product available from specialist retailers.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS (SPECIFIC) FOR BALLS COLLECTION

Necklace and cuffs
When cleaning, use only cloth. Do not dip in liquid, fluid into balls can cause damage to the jewellery.

Rings and earrings
Clean with polishing cloth but can also be dipped in more severe oxidation.

General for the Balls collection
After use, the jewellery should be wiped with a tack cloth or other soft cloth. When the jewellery is not used, it should be kept in its silk bag or box so no scratches occur during storage.

PEARLS

Pearls should be wiped after use with a lightly moistened cloth. To ensure they retain their luster it is important that they do not come into contact with substances that have a degreasing effect, such as perfume and dish soap. It is best to keep pearls covered (but avoid using cotton balls, which has a desiccating effect).

Clean your jewellery regularly and it will retain its appearance.
