Jewellery And WaterUpdated 4 hours ago

We recommend avoiding water exposure with your By Charlotte pieces. Water can erode and damage the plating on sterling silver and vermeil gold, and because our jewellery is designed to be fine and delicate, force or snagging may cause it to break. Crystals are especially vulnerable, as their brilliance will dull when exposed to chlorine or salt water.

Gold-plated jewellery may also tarnish naturally over time, a process that can be accelerated by factors such as humidity, skin acidity, direct sunlight, perfume, or cosmetic products. While solid gold designs are more resilient to the elements, they too are delicate by nature and may break if caught on swimwear, hair, or clothing.
