Each piece we produce is handmade and unique, so we recommend that all pieces be cared for in a specific way to extend the life of each one of them.

All of our pieces are made of recycled silver. Our silver pieces are made from recycled 925 or 950 silver with additional silver plating for added silver protection and our gold pieces are made from 925 or 950 silver with a 3 micron 18k gold plating.

Large wearable pieces are made of bronze or brass with silver plating or 3 micron 18k gold plating.

Solid gold is available on request.

To ensure deterioration and oxidation of gold plated pieces, avoid:

• All kind of liquids: salt water, chemical liquids, chlorine, all kind of soaps, perfume, make-up, cleaning products, oils…

• Try to remove your piece when showering, swimming and also washing your hangs.

• Do not do exercise with your jewellery pieces. Sweat can speed up plating.

To avoid scratches and blows try to save pieces inside the cloth bag we provide you.

Gently clean your piece with the special cleaning cloth we provide you. We advise using this cloth, or a soft microfibre cloth to gently polish your jewellery. Never use chemicals to clean your pieces, such as cleaning products, washing-up liquid or make-up remover.

We offer plating service only for our pieces. To request this service, please email us at olivia@oliviabarthe.com and we will reply via email with the steps to follow.
