Jewellery Care & Materials

Jewellery Care

At BLINGZ, we use premium materials to ensure your jewellery lasts, but like all beautiful things, it needs a little love.

Our gold and rhodium plated brass pieces are more durable than regular costume jewellery, but they’re not made for constant, everyday wear. With proper care, your pieces will stay shiny and stunning for years.

If you’re after something more low maintenance for daily wear, we recommend our solid sterling silver or gold vermeil options.

Water from hand washing or the occasional shower won’t cause rust or greening, but remember, these aren’t solid gold pieces, so avoid getting them wet too often. Salt water, chlorine, and harsh products (like soap, hairspray, perfume, and moisturiser) can wear down the plating and will void your warranty.

To keep your pieces looking their best, avoid storing them in fabric lined jewellery boxes (these can release gases that react with metals). Instead, use the BLINGZ microfibre pouch, a zip lock bag, or any airtight container. And never store your jewellery in humid areas like the bathroom.

Quick Care Tips

  • Put your jewellery on last and take it off first.

  • Remove before showering, exercising, or swimming.

  • Avoid lotions, perfumes, makeup, and hair products.

  • Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth (no chemical polishing cloths).

  • Store separately from other metals to avoid scratches.

  • Handle with care, don’t pull, knock, or stretch.


Our Metals

Gold Vermeil / Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver
We use a thick layer of 14k or 18k gold (2.5-3 microns) over solid 925 sterling silver. Rhodium pieces are plated with 0.3 microns and topped with an anti-tarnish E-Coating for added durability. These are nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Perfect for sensitive skin.

Gold / Rhodium Plated Brass
Our statement pieces feature a brass base plated with 14k or 18k gold (min. 2.5 microns) or rhodium (0.3 microns). Don’t let the brass slander fool you. Our high quality plating and finishes ensure these pieces last beautifully with proper care.

Clasp Not Closing?

This can occasionally happen with even the finest jewellery. It’s not a fault, just a natural thing that can occur with malleable metals over time!

It’s an easy fix! Just message us at hello@blingz.com.au or on Instagram @blingzau and we’ll send over a quick video guide to help you adjust it back into place.
