Taking care of my Elliade jewel
Can I wear my Elliade jewelry every day?
It is perfectly possible to wear your ring every day; an antique piece of jewelry is no more fragile than a contemporary piece of jewelry.
However, you must take care of your antique jewelry so that it retains its shine for a lifetime. It is important to remove your ring in certain situations.
To avoid deposits that reduce its shine, you can remove your vintage jewelry before applying cream or washing your hands.
It is important to remove your antique jewelry before sleeping, exercising, or during any activity involving strong vibrations, so as not to alter the setting and the band of your antique jewelry. Jewelry with a large number of stones, pearls, or opals is more delicate.
Why can't I see a hallmark on my ring?
The resizing requested after purchasing your jewelry is sometimes the cause of the hallmarks being erased.
In fact, the part of the ring opposite the plate on which the punches are affixed is also the one which is heated during sizing, so as not to damage the stones.
It should also be noted that the hallmark is not mandatory for items below 3 grams of gold, so master jewelers may not have affixed it at the time of manufacture.
