HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR JEWELLERY

Hjelm jewellery is made out of respect for the creative process, the materials and for our environment.

I use sterling silver (925) and 14 carat (525) and 18 carat (750) recycled gold. All jewellery is hand crafted by myself at my workbench. You will find irregularities in expression, size and finish from piece to piece which only contributes to create an individual jewellery - YOUR piece of jewellery.

The jewellery is made of fine metals and wires and has smooth surfaces, which naturally is of importance to bear in mind when using them. Dents and scratches will show and the string will absorb sweat and grease. Despite the delicate look of the jewellery they are remarkably lasting. I test all my designs during my daily about. Do they not meet my wishes for standard, I will make the necessary adjustments or perhaps choose to take them out of the collection.

The jewellery is made to be used and loved. However do you want to keep your jewellery nice and lasting I suggest not to wear it when you do sports, shower or do strenuous work. When not in use keep the jewellery in a small box or bag or acid free tissue paper, that way you avoid it getting oxidised and patchy.

Please note: strings and leather does by nature wear out at a point; in most designs it will be possible to change them.

All the above said, it will always be your favourite jewellery that gets the dents and perhaps eventually breaks, as it is the jewellery you simply cannot do without and must wear.
