Yes we only use genuine gemstones in our jewellery unless we have stated that we have used something man made ie; Miyuki seed beads, glass pearls etc

All our genuine gemstones are bought from UK suppliers and can be traced, we will gladly supply a copy of the authenticity certificate upon request 

Each piece of Handcrafted Jewellery By Kim is made with great care and attention to detail. To help keep your bespoke piece of jewellery looking as sparkly as new, here are a few essential jewellery care tips

1. Remove before swimming, showering, spa treatments, hot tubs, and using harsh cleaning products 

2. Use beauty products such as deodorant and hairspray BEFORE putting your jewellery on

3. Wearing your jewellery often is the best way to keep it shining and lustrous. The oils in your skin will help keep the jewellery clean

4. To clean your sterling silver jewellery use a silver polish, cloth or silver dip to brighten it or to remove stains. HOWEVER, do not use silver dip on any jewellery with gemstones as it may damage them

5. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, and other harsh chemicals. REMEMBER JEWELLERY SHOULD BE THE LAST THING ON AND THE FIRST THING OFF.

6. Gently clean jewellery with a soft cloth. Avoid using jewellery cleaners of abrasives 

7.Take off jewellery before participating in activities that may cause damage, such as sports or gardening etc

The more you take the time to commit to some basic jewellery care, the longer your jewellery will last.
