Cast in 925 Solid Silver The Fishscale Hoops from Nasi’s Fish Out Of Water Collection symbolises the soul inside each and every one of us, swimming against the waters and flowing upstream towards the higher power within ourselves. These hoops are there to remind you to keep swimming through the waters that bring us life, representing the eternal soul within. Caring for NASI Your NASI jewellery should be handled with care at all times. All sterling silver will tarnish over time, but this can happen much faster when it comes into contact with agents such as perfume, salty air, sulphur, skin creams, hairspray, chlorine and acidic skin PH. The amount of tarnishing (oxidisation) that occurs is dependant on the skin and care habits of the wearer. Tarnishing is therefore not a manufacturing fault. Tarnishing, however is not a problem and can be easily resolved by using a microfiber polishing cloth to clean your silver jewellery. We also recommend that you do not wear your jewellery whilst bathing, whilst in bed or during sporting activities. To prevent misshaping, store your jewellery carefully after wear. Our 9 Carat Gold jewellery should follow the same recommendations as the silver if you want to preserve its lustre. No matter how much we care for our jewellery, we can’t entirely protect them from coming into contact with outside particles. To refresh the lustre of your gold jewellery, simply mix some non-toxic soap into a bowl of warm water, dip your jewellery into and then proceed to gently scrub the pieces using a soft brush. Wash it off with clean water, and let is dry completely before wearing or storing it. The process of plating is when a layer of gold is placed onto the surface of another metal. In our case it is placed onto 925 silver. As the base material is not 100% solid gold extra care should always be taken to maximise the plating on that piece of jewellery. Here are some tips to restore the lustre of your gold plated jewellery. Please avoid spraying perfume and other sprays while wearing your gold- plated jewellery. Make sure you wait until your body is dry from lotion or creams before wearing the gold plated jewellery. Oil, sweat, nail polish, perfume and chlorine can all react with the plated jewellery causing it to tarnish. Please remove your jewellery before you exercise, swim and other activities where these substances may be involved After wear, clean your jewellery with a cotton ball or a soft cloth which will remove any dirt and dust. Use a soft jewellery cloth NOT a polishing cloth as this could conflict with the plating. When storing your gold plated jewellery, to avoid scratches, wrap it in a soft cloth after cleaning or keep in a jewellery box not touching other jewellery. Zip- lock bags or pouches are fabulous for storing gold plated jewellery.
