A Little Love Goes a Long Way
Esterah jewellery is designed for your daily life—your morning coffee, your focused work hours, and your low-impact movement. Because our pieces are crafted from 18k Gold on a Sterling Silver base, they appreciate a little extra mindfulness to keep their signature glow.
The "Golden Rules" of Wear
To preserve the lustre of your 18k plating, follow the "Last On, First Off" philosophy.
-
The Last Touch: Apply your perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry. Chemicals in beauty products are the leading cause of premature fading.
-
The "Low-Impact" Rule: Esterah loves a Pilates session or a walk in the park, but silver and gold plating don't mix well with heavy sweat. If you’re heading to a high-intensity workout, let your jewellery sit this one out.
-
Keep it Dry: Gold vermeil’s natural enemies are chlorine and salt water. Remove your pieces before showering, swimming, or doing the dishes.
The Ritual: Cleaning & Storage
Think of this as a "reset" for your jewellery at the end of a long day.
-
The 10-Second Polish: After wearing, give your piece a gentle wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth (included in every order). This removes natural skin oils that can dull the gold over time.
-
A Room of Its Own: When not in use, store your pieces in their Esterah pouch or a lined jewellery box. Silver is a natural element that reacts with oxygen; keeping it in a cool, dry, airtight space prevents tarnishing.
-
Separate to Shine: Store your pieces individually to avoid scratches from other jewellery.
The Esterah Promise
Jewellery should be easy. By taking these small steps, you’re ensuring your favourite pieces grow with you, maintaining their radiance for years to come.
