Q: Are Shans London pieces waterproof?
A:Shans London jewelry is designed for everyday elegance, but how water-friendly each piece is depends on its material:
• Stainless Steel Collection (Anti-Tarnish & Waterproof):
These pieces are highly durable, waterproof, and resistant to rust and tarnish. You can wear them in the shower, swimming pool, or while washing your hands without worry. Their PVD coating ensures long-lasting shine.
• Silver Collection:
Sterling silver is not waterproof. Exposure to water, perfumes, or lotions can cause oxidation and tarnishing over time. To keep your silver pieces sparkling, remove them before showering, swimming, or applying body products.
• Brass Collection:
Brass pieces are PVD-coated for durability but are not fully waterproof. Prolonged contact with water, sweat, or chemicals may affect their finish. Remove them before swimming, bathing, or intense workouts to preserve their shine.
• Fashion Jewelry Collection (Can be Tarnished & Not Waterproof):
Fashion jewelry pieces are made from stainless steel, ecologically sourced copper or coatings that may wear off over time. They are not waterproof and will tarnish with exposure to water, sweat, perfumes, or lotions. To keep them looking their best, store them dry, avoid contact with liquids, and clean gently with a soft cloth.
✅ Quick Tip: Even the waterproof stainless steel pieces last longer when stored in a dry, separate pouch and cleaned gently with a soft cloth.
Q: How should I care for my Shans London gold-plated jewelry?
A: Gold-plated jewelry from Shans London is designed to shine and add a touch of everyday elegance. To keep your pieces looking their best:
• Avoid Water & Chemicals: Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying perfume, lotion, or hair products. Water and chemicals can wear down the gold plating.
• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe your jewelry after wearing. For more stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately—never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Proper Storage: Store gold-plated pieces separately in a jewelry pouch or box to prevent scratching or rubbing against other jewelry.
• Collection-Specific Notes:
• Silver Gold-Plated: Sterling silver pieces with gold plating are elegant but delicate. Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to prevent tarnish or fading of the plating. Clean gently and store in an anti-tarnish pouch.
• Stainless Steel Gold-Plated: Durable and anti-tarnish, these can handle occasional everyday wear but should still be kept away from harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure.
• Brass Gold-Plated: Trendy and warm-toned, brass with 18K or 22K Gold plating may fade faster if exposed to water or sweat. Gentle care and proper storage will maintain their shine.
• Fashion Jewelry Gold-Plated: These pieces are more delicate, with coatings that can wear off quickly. They are not waterproof and will tarnish easily, so treat them with extra care.
✅ Quick Tip: Remove all gold-plated jewelry before sleeping to prevent bending, scratching, or rubbing that may wear off the plating.
