Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my jewellery?
 
Jewellery is handmade with care and we know you’re going to want to keep it looking great. So here are
some tips to help you do just that. Storing your jewellery properly is important too. To avoid damage,
store your jewellery separate from each other to minimise scratching and tangling. All of our Racoe
pieces come in their own beautiful packaging so you
can keep them safe in that
 
Going swimming?
 
We advise not to go swimming with you jewellery. Chemicals in swimming pools and thermal hot pools will accelerate
tarnishing and leave your jewels looking dull.
 
Care Tips
 
All of our gold plated jewellery is 925 sterling silver plated with 5 microns of 24 carat gold. In order to
prolong the life of your jewellery, please avoid perfumes and cosmetics, showering and cleaning
products. Also avoid wearing gold plated items in bed; bedsheets rubbing against them can wear down
the surface.
 
Gold plate will wear over time depending on how much it’s worn and the types of activities you do whilst
wearing it. We can re-plate your Racoe jewellery for you for a small cost. 
 
The good news is investing in solid gold jewellery means that it is far less prone to wear and tear. Gold is
tough stuff and can handle being worn every day. You can use a mild jewellery cleaner and polishing cloth to
bring out the shine in your solid gold. Regular cleaning will help keep it looking as good as new.
 
Gemstones require special care. Avoid impact against hard surfaces and contact with perfumes, cosmetics
and household chemicals. Are your gemstones looking a little dull and tired? You can bring back
their sparkle by using a soft clean toothbrush, lukewarm water and a small amount of washing up
liquid to remove any dirt. Regular cleaning will help to retain their glamour and shine.
