Question 1

How do I care for my V & Me Custom piece/s?

Accepted Answer

Our chains are 18K rose gold, gold and silver filled and our pendants/bars/charms are made from the highest quality metals with a plating thickness of 3 microns. Gold/silver plating is a method of bonding a thin layer of liquid gold/silver onto the surface of another metal; such as sterling silver or brass, by electrochemical plating.   Tarnishing/ Oxidsing is subject to the acidity of the wearers skin. We all have different skin types so chemical reactions from the plated pendants react differently to each of us, some quicker then others.  Please avoid exposing your jewellery to products such as lotions. tanning products, makeup, perfume etc. The chemicals in these products can react to the metals and will cause discolouration. We recommend cleaning your pieces weekly. Tarnishing/ Discolouration is not a fault of V and Me Custom Designs nor of our suppliers. As our pendants are plated , they are not designed to last for years and years. They will discolour over time.    Use the enclosed microfiber jewellery cloth you recieved with your order to gently wipe (not rub or wipe vigorously) over the pendants and chain to remove any dirt or dust. Please do not submerge your piece/s  in water and do not wear while showering or swimming.    Please ensure you protect your jewellery from scratches and chemicals.    Enjoy your custom piece and wear it with love.

Question 2

Can the back of pendants and bars be stamped as well?

Accepted Answer

Yes but only our 8mm and 12mm round pendants can be stamped on both sides.    We stamp each pendant with a hammer made for this kind of metal stamping so small marks or indentments will appear on the back of our bar and larger 15mm and 19 mm pendants and bars.

Can I change the length of my chain after I have recieved it?
