Jewelry Warranty and Care
TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT
All Aka Gioielli products are made of 925/°°° Silver and can be subjected to a galvanic bath of rose gold, yellow gold, rhodium, platinum, ruthenium and/or protective anti-oxidation coatings. The jewels of the Aka Gioielli brand, made with high-quality hypoallergenic materials and following rigorous production standards, can be decorated with enamel and/or synthetic/artificial stones. The materials used for Aka Gioielli products comply with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) and Regulation (EU) No. 494/2011.
LEGAL GUARANTEE
All products sold by Aka Gioielli are covered by the legal guarantee of 24 (twenty-four) months for defects of conformity, pursuant to Title III of Legislative Decree 206/2005 and subsequent amendments (Legislative Decree 170/2021). Rhodium plating, platinum plating, ruthenium plating, gold plating and anti-oxidation coatings in the event of improper use, as well as accidental breakage of stones and/or damage in general resulting from incorrect use of the jewel, are excluded from the guarantee. Therefore, the loss of color due to improper use of products characterized by the aforementioned treatments must not be considered a manufacturing defect. To this end, it is advisable to avoid contact with cosmetics and perfumes that could damage the finish, with chemical substances and in particular with chlorine, and to pay particular attention when carrying out sports and domestic activities (etc.).
MATERIALS
925 SILVER
Aka Gioielli uses only the highest quality sterling silver, hypoallergenic and treated with different finishes.
- Rhodium plating : to maintain the characteristic shine of the metal.
- Yellow gold or rose gold plating : with 18Kt gold base, to further enhance some jewels.
- Oxidation : when you want to give a vintage effect to a certain collection.
STONES
Aka Gioielli uses a wide assortment of synthetic stones, as well as Cubic Zirconia and Swarovski Crystals. All stones are carefully selected.
ENAMEL
To add color and highlight some details, Aka Gioielli uses hand-worked enamels. The enamel details are water resistant but could be damaged by corrosive substances. However, enamel remains a fragile material, sensitive to impacts and scratches.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Always put your jewelry back in its box after wearing it to avoid scratches.
- Clean them regularly with a small amount of neutral soap diluted in water and dry them with a soft cloth.
- Avoid wearing your jewelry while doing household chores, handling bleach or detergents and/or chemicals that can damage the electroplated finishes.
- Be careful when using cosmetic products; in particular, make sure that the following products do not come into contact with your jewelry, as they may tarnish the silver: creams, deodorants, perfumes, hairsprays or lotions of any kind.
- Do not wear your jewelry while bathing in the sea, spa or swimming pool (sulfur and chlorine oxidize silver, making it dark and opaque).
- Exposure to humidity, heat and sweat accelerates the oxidation process of the jewel. If it should happen accidentally, do not worry: our jewels, unlike other products not made of silver, in case of oxidation can return to their original appearance if washed with specific products for cleaning jewels or simply with a solution of warm water and bicarbonate.
