Simple everyday care

Six simple habits to keep your jewel as beautiful as on the first day.

Store separatelyAlways keep your jewel in its Facco box, separate from other jewellery, to protect it from knocks, scratches and rubbing.
Polish with a clothA soft, clean, dry cloth removes fingerprints and residue and keeps the gold shining. No abrasive products.
Perfume first, then jewelApply perfume, creams and cosmetics before putting it on: alcohol and some ingredients may dull the surfaces.
Take it off in waterShower, sea and pool: chlorine, salt water and prolonged moisture may affect its shine.
Remove it for sport and choresAt the gym, during housework or when using bleach and detergents, take your jewel off to avoid knocks and harsh substances.
No DIY repairsIf it breaks, do not use glue or home remedies: professional work preserves your jewel.

9 kt and 18 kt gold

Both are real gold: what changes is the amount of pure gold and the hardness.

9 kt375 ‰ pure goldA harder alloy that stands up well to everyday wear. Ideal for wearing every day, worry-free.
18 kt750 ‰ pure goldThe warmest, richest colour of gold. Being softer, it needs more care against scratches and rubbing.

Deep cleaning

When the gold loses its shine. Only for jewellery made entirely of gold, without pearls, stones, mother-of-pearl or cords.

  1. Lukewarm waterFill a bowl with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild soap.
  2. Soft brushGently pass a soft-bristled brush between the links, without scrubbing.
  3. Rinse and dryRinse with clean water and dry straight away with a soft cloth, then leave to air dry.

Delicate materials

Pearls, mother-of-pearl and stones

Natural Macaya pearls, synthetic mother-of-pearl, synthetic malachite and synthetic lapis lazuli require particular care. Avoid soaking, alcohol, perfume, harsh detergents, ultrasonic cleaning and sudden temperature changes. After use, wipe only with a soft, dry cloth.

Waxed cotton cords

Protect the cords from water, cosmetics and intense rubbing. If they become accidentally wet, allow them to dry naturally and completely before storing them.
