If you would like your piece of jewellery engraved, this will take up to an additional 2 weeks.

Jewellery is best stored separately in an air tight bag or container to reduce tarnishing. Items such as hand sanitiser, cosmetics, creams, perfumes and hair products can accelerate the tarnishing process. Try to avoid contact between your jewellery and these types of products.

Chlorine, salt water and hard water can be especially harsh on the surface of jewellery. Jewellery shouldn't be worn in water and taken off for sport or physical activities.

Sometimes sterling silver or gold may discolour skin, leaving a greenish mark. This is not harmful and is due to the base metal (usually copper) within sterling silver or gold reacting to the acid in your skin. The discolouration is easily washed off with warm soapy water.

All jewellery is completely handmade and isn’t plated with rhodium, so it may tarnish quicker than similar items you have. A soft dry polish cloth will bring back the sparkle.

Bottlebee jewellery is made with recycled silver and gold with sustainable, ethical practices, and should be looked after so it can become an heirloom piece that can be handed down through generations.

If you have bought a silver or gold ring from Bottlebee, I will adjust the ring +/- 2 sizes at no additional charge (excluding postage). You can find out how to get an accurate ring size here https://www.bottlebee.co.uk/post/how-to-get-the-correct-ring-size

If you would like to customise or put your own twist on a piece of jewellery you've seen, and have it tailored to you, please get in touch.

I will work with you to make a bespoke piece of heirloom jewellery you will love forever.
