MATERIALS

Due to the handmade nature of Bug jewellery there might be very slight variations in colour and sizes to items. All items are designed and handcrafted in the Bug workshop.

All items are produced in 925 sterling silver. Our gold plating is a layer of 18ct gold on top of sterling silver. Although gold plate will not tarnish it will get dirty with wear and when in contact with perfumes and moist conditions. Over time the gold plate can fade depending on how much the jewellery is worn. Bug offers a completely free reconditioning service for gold plated items, this means we will give your jewellery a good clean and a polish and re-plate it, restoring your jewellery to it's original sparkle!

Items that are over 7.78 grams are hallmarked with Ellie Ingram's makers mark ‘ELI’, items under this weight are exempt from hallmarking.

AFTER CARE

We want you to be able to wear your jewellery for as long as possible, so here are a fews tips for keeping it happy!

• Silver naturally tarnishes over time, causing it to blacken slightly, due to exposure to natural elements. To prevent this happening, when not wearing your jewellery store it in an air tight container or jewellery box and give it a regular clean with a polishing cloth.

• To prolong gold plated and oxidised items, keep them dry and avoid using chemical cleaners, to clean use a soft polishing cloth. It is also best to remove them when in contact with water.

• Store your jewellery separately, so it doesn’t rub & scratch against each other.

• Apply your perfume before putting on your jewellery as lotions can corrode and tarnish the jewellery.

• The best cleaning method to really brighten up your silver is a product called 'Silver Dip' simply dip your jewellery into the solution and watch it sparkle! Remember to run it under the tap afterwards.
