How should I look after my jewellery?

​

Your jewellery is quite delicate and despite using robust, professional material suitable for daily wear, it is important to follow a few guidelines to maintain the original beauty of the gemstones. Kylee encourages you to use your intuition when wearing one of her creations but she also  advises you to do the following:

​

* remove your jewellery at the pool, beach or spas because chlorinated or salty water can tarnish and damage the stones.

* avoid contact with chemicals such as perfumes, body lotions, household products etc,

* store them carefully in the pouch provided.

 

* remove them at night. Your stones are like you, they need to rest and recharge. Use the pouch provided with a rock crystal or Flower of Life or place your jewellery on a stone used to recharge them. Kylee uses selenite and a "Flower of Life" for her gemstones.

​

BE CAREFUL, ALL STONES ARE NOT THE SAME HARDNESS AND ARE, THEREFORE, VERY FRAGILE. ALL STONES MAY BREAK IF THEY GET HIT, SO PLEASE AVOID WEARING JEWELLERY WHEN CARRYING HEAVY OBJECTS, DOING SPORTS, BATHING AND SLEEPING.

 

Please don't hesitate to contact Kylee should you have any questions.

How do I measure my wrist for bracelets?

The micro facet range of bracelets gives you the opportunity to select a specific size. Follow these guidelines:

​

• Choice of sizes:

  • 15cm - xxs

  • 16cm - xs

  • 17 cm - s

  • 18 cm - m

  • 19 cm - l

  • 20 cm - xl

 

Choice of Fit:

• Tight -this is flush to your skin

• Cosy - this is the equivalent of a finger space between your skin and the tape measure

• Loose - this is the equivalent of 2 finger spaces between your skin and the tape measure

 

For multi-wrap bracelets just measure as above and the calculations will be converted for you.

​

HOW TO MEASURE:

It is essential to know your wrist size so that you can have a bracelet that is a great fit.

To measure your wrist you will need a flexible dressmaker's tape measure or a piece of ribbon / cord and a ruler. Wrap the tape around your wrist once. If you are measuring with string, you will then need to measure this against a ruler. 

In summary and to help you.....

•  Your wrist size can not match the bracelet size I make

•  Your wrist measurement is the starting point

• Next choose the fit: tight / cosy / loose

• If this is a present for someone and you are unsure choose a cosy fit.

What type of metal is used in the jewellery?

​

Kylee designs and creates with the upmost care. Her aim is to provide authenticity, fulfilment and serenity. All gemstones are genuine and Kylee takes great care to exclusively use solid 925 silver or 12 / 14kt gold filled.

​

What is GF - gold filled 

The gold-filled finish is  widely used in the United States. Gold Filled is composed of a 14 carat gold finish on a brass base by a process combining pressure and heat. The weight of gold is 1/20 of the total weight of the product is about 50 to 100 times more than in a gold-plated product. This layer is much thicker than in the case of a gold-plated jewel. The result of this technique is very strong and durable jewellery. Gold Filled will tarnish but will do so less quickly provided that it is cared for.  In addition, as the gold layer is thicker than in the case of gold-plated jewellery, the risk of an allergic reaction is low. That said, 14k gold filled jewellery is not recommended for people with very acidic skin since it could alter the gold layer and expose the metal base which will cause the jewellery to turn green or oxidise. Gold Filled is recognised by the terms GF.

To clean and shine your gold-filled jewellery, simply clean with a little warm water with mild shampoo and a baby toothbrush. Rub delicately, then rinse thoroughly with clear water and let dry on absorbent paper

It is also better to avoid putting your jewellery in contact with cleaning products, lemon or other acidic elements, chlorine or seawater. It is the same for gemstones.

​​Do I need to do something to my jewellery before wearing it?

​

Worth knowing: once Kylee has finished making a piece of jewellery she uses several methods to cleanse it energetically and charge it. When you receive the piece of jewellery you do not need to clean or charge it. You could however "program" your jewellery.
