Artisanal jewellery designed in London.

Materials and Care

We believe in the art of slow creation, echoing the very nature of the Kensho experience – gradual understanding and enlightenment. Learn how to take care of your modern heirlooms that define your human tapestry and are designed to last a lifetime.

 

Materials:

All our jewellery is handcrafted by artisans in Vermeil, setting a superior gold plating standard with a thick layer of gold. Unlike gold-plated and gold-filled options that often use less expensive base metals like brass, our jewellery is crafted in 925 silver for superior quality, longevity  and durability.

Our pieces are adorned with carefully handpicked natural gemstones, chosen with meticulous attention to quality. Each handpicked  gemstone is unique in shape and colour and adds a unique meaning to your jewellery.

 

General Care:

Vermeil jewellery may experience tarnishing over time, particularly when it comes into contact with various chemicals. Common culprits include sweat, sulfur, and chlorine. However, if you appreciate a more weathered appearance, no additional care is necessary.

To preserve the shine of your 24-karat gold-plated or sterling silver heirlooms, we recommend using a polishing cloth regularly to restore their luster and remove any surface tarnish that may accumulate. Keeping your Vermeil jewellery dry is advised to extend its lifespan. Please avoid exposing it to water, perfumes, lotions, or cosmetics. We also recommend refraining from wearing jewellery while swimming, showering, or exercising, as prolonged moisture exposure can lead to tarnishing over time.

When your treasured piece is not in use, we suggest storing it in a cool, dry place, preferably within its original box to maintain its physical condition. If you wish to wear your talismans without removing them, regardless of weather or activity, please contact us to explore the option of creating your heirlooms in solid gold.

Furthermore, we offer refurbishment services for all our jewellery. If you require any assistance or have inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email or WhatsApp.

 

Gemstone Care:

Our gemstone-adorned creations exclusively feature 100% natural stones, all sourced from the incredible depths of Mother Earth herself. These gemstones showcase a rich array of colors, patterns, and textures, each shaped by the whims of nature. These distinctive variations ensure that your jewellery piece is one-of-a-kind and crafted exclusively for you.

To protect the beauty and integrity of your gemstones, we recommend avoiding the use of perfumes, cosmetics, or household chemicals in close proximity to your precious gems. When cleaning your gemstones, a gentle approach is best; use a clean, soft cloth as needed to maintain their luster.

To support slow fashion and jewellery longevity,  we provide refurbishment services for all our jewellery. Should you need assistance or have any inquiries, please feel free to email us at info@kenshoheirlooms.com
