Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS MYKA DESIGNS JEWELLERY MADE OF?
Myka Designs Collection is true ‘costume jewellery’ which is made from base materials of brass, stainless steel and pewter . Our designs are then electroplated in a variety of precious metal finishes; rhodium, 18k Gold, Rose Gold, Antiqued Sterling Silver, Antiqued Brass, Antiqued Gold. Other materials we use are leather, glass beads, Swarovski Crystals and Semi-precious beads.
HOW DO I MAINTAIN AND CARE FOR MY MYKA DESIGNS JEWELLERY?
Many factors influence the wear and tear of jewellery including perspiration, perfume, hairspray, alcohol and medications consumption, body imbalance, stress, air pollution and others. These factors can provoke a chemical reaction in the metal finishes.
Crystals and leathers cannot tolerate any form of chemicals.
How often and how you care for your Myka will also determine its appearance and longevity. Nothing looks brand new forever, but with a little TLC your Myka Designs Jewellery will last you a very long time and get you many, many compliments!
To keep your Myka Jewellery looking its best:
- Do not wear it while doing sports
- Do not wear it while bathing, swimming, hot tub or at the beach
- Put your jewellery on AFTER you have applied your perfume and hairspray and NEVER spray directly on
- Minimize contact with lotions, bronzers, oils
- Should your jewellery get wet, immediately dry off with a cloth
- To clean your jewellery wipe with a damp cloth
- Do not use jewellery or silver cleaners as they all contain solvents which will react with our finishes
- Do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steam baths designed for jewellery
- Excessive heat can also damage jewellery, do not leave jewellery anywhere in excessive heat
- Please note that Crystals and glass beads are breakable
- Cuff or hoop sizes or shapes should not be tampered with. Avoid bending to open or reduce them. This can distort the plating and damage the bezel setting of the stone.
- Earring post and wires may become bent during shipping or use. Slight adjustments of the posts up or down will usually fix these issues. Posts are very small and delicate so use caution when storing earrings to prevent bending of posts. Euroback wires should also be handled carefully and stored either on their original earring card or in a jewellery box, to avoid crushing
- When not being worn store you jewellery in a jewellery box, cotton or plastic bag and out of direct sun
- Failure to follow these instructions may constitute abuse, misuse, or misapplication of your Myka Designs product.
