Product Care
Since our beautiful, mischievous jewellery pieces are designed with items that have been passed down between generations, it is really important you look after these treasures with as much care as we put into designing them.
Whilst Hopetown & Hunter can offer a limited repair service (subject to assessment) for items purchased from recent collections, here are some important tips for keeping your jewellery at its very best.
Tip: Your jewellery should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off..
Wearing H+H Jewellery
Many factors cause wear and tear in your jewellery, so start with these simple rules whilst flaunting your jewels:
Put your jewellery on after clothes and take it off before you take off your clothes. Doing this will avoid accidental snagging, scratches & breakages etc.
Also DON'T FORGET your jewellery is particularly susceptible to damage from effects of harsh chemicals found in perfumes, hairspray, lotions, makeup, body oils and more.
REMOVE jewellery if you are likely to cause exposure to chemicals or fluids.
How to clean and store my H+H jewellery
We understand that sometimes items may need a little spruce and some tlc. One of the most important rituals to give your jewellery the long life it deserves.
Always store your jewellery individually
Use a tissue paper lined box
MAKE SURE you are not storing pieces in humidity or heat or light – jewellery should be kept away from these conditions.
Tricks to stop dullness or erosion
DO NOT keep jewellery in direct sunlight as exposure to sunlight over a period of time can cause fading.
TAKE OFF jewellery before contact with water - through swimming, bathing, washing etc. Liquid and oils can get through the tiny cracks causing permanent damage.
