Advice and Info
With time, like all beloved bags and clothes we like to carry and wear very often, jewelry will naturally wear out and the plating will fade away. However, we will try to share some tips and advice to help make your fashion jewelry last for as long as possible.
General Tips
To keep your jewelry looking their best, avoid contact with water (such as shower, bath, pool, jacuzzi, ocean) and do not expose the jewelry to harsh chemicals such as household cleaning products especially ones containing bleach or ammonia, perfumes, and beauty products including creams and lotions, hairspray and nail polish. We would advise that any lotions and makeup be applied before putting on any jewelry at the very last.
Always store pieces individually in a box or pouch away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will prevent scratches and any reaction with material from other jewelry and items as well as wear and tear from exposure to the environment.
Gold Plated, Crystals and Gem Stones
Use a gentle hand soap with warm water. Rinse and pat dry.
Brass, Silver & Stainless Steel
Normally, a gentle hand soap with warm water will suffice. To regain shine, clean with polish or use a little lemon juice. Do not use polish or abrasive creams for any plated jewelry.
Leather
Apply leather conditioner such as mink oil to increase lifespan and to keep supple. Avoid moisture as much as possible and extreme temperatures in order to maintain color. Leather is an organic material so the color and texture may change over time especially where folded or knotted.
Velvet & Fabrics
Use adhesive tape gently or clothes brush to remove dust and fibers. Use only tapes for fabric to avoid damage. To remove stains, clean with a little soap and cold water, rub gently and rinse. If necessary, use toothbrush delicately to remove more serious stains.

Sizing Guide
Ring sizes come in a large range of country-specific systems and unfortunately, they aren’t even directly convertible. Nuage Concept follows French sizes as our products are designed and made in France! Moreover, French ring sizing is simply the inside circumference in millimeters. Makes good sense, no?
