Caring For Your New Piece Of Jewellery
As most AUTORE MODA jewellery is detailed with South Sea pearls, which are delicate and organic gemstone, our pieces require special care to ensure their longevity. We recommend the following advice to keep your pearls, and your jewellery, in the best condition.
Jewellery Care and Cleaning
Whilst wearing your new piece of AUTORE MODA jewellery, we recommend that you remove any pieces prior to any activities which will result in it getting wet including swimming, showering or exercising.
Depending on the design aesthetic, AUTORE MODA uses a variety of metals in the jewellery including Sterling Silver, 18k Gold Vermeil and 9k Solid Gold which require regular cleaning.
AUTORE MODA recommends you gently wipe down your jewellery with a clean damp cloth from time to time to prevent damage from perspiration, oils, toxins or dirt. 18k Gold Vermeil will naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to environmental factors like air pollution, moisture, and items that contain sulfur, however it is easy to restore the shine of gold vermeil jewellery with proper care and maintenance.

Pearl Care and Storage
It is important to clean and store your pearls correctly to ensure they keep their lustre. As they are grown by a living organism, each pearl is slightly different from the next, with beautiful and unique qualities.It is recommended to store your pearls separately to prevent other jewellery items from scratching the pearls surface.
How to store 18k gold vermeil jewellery:
We recommend not storing your pieces for extended periods of time in our packaging as moisture and humidity can cause oxidization. Store in a safe, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help to protect your pieces when they are not being worn.
Things to Avoid
Harsh chemicals such as perfume, hairspray, cosmetics and household cleaning agents which contain alcohol can be harmful to the pearl’s lustre and surface, and the plating of the jewellery.
AUTORE MODA recommends that you put your jewellery on last to avoid contact with these chemicals. If your piece of AUTORE MODA jewellery comes into contact with these chemicals, it is recommended to immediately wipe it down with a damp cloth.
Avoid cleaning your pearls with abrasive materials which may scratch the surface of your pearl or plated jewellery.
Metal Care
Over time, Sterling Silver and 18k Gold Vermeil will naturally tarnish, blacken or discolour as a result of every day wear and tear, and exposure to chemicals, acidity, moisture and sunlight.
If you notice your piece of jewellery has faded in colour, please get it touch at hello@autoremoda.com. We offer a replating service at a cost of $100.
South Sea pearls
AUTORE MODA sources all South Sea pearls used in their jewellery from their affiliated AUTORE farms located in the crystal clear oceans along the coastlines of Australia and Indonesia and are MSC certified sustainable. The AUTORE Group’s pearl farms are located in Broome, WA and Elizabeth Bay, NT in Australia and in Lombok, Sumbawa and West Java, in Indonesia.
18k Gold Vermeil
Different to gold plating, vermeil is a thick gold-finished material which is a combination of Sterling Silver covered in a layer of 18k solid gold. Vermeil is popular due to its long-lasting wear, giving you the look and feel of solid gold jewellery without the price tag. Gold vermeil is the best quality material you can purchase if you do not wish to buy solid gold jewellery and is becoming increasingly popular as it is the perfect balance of quality and value. All AUTORE MODA pieces which are 18k Gold Vermeil have an 18k gold plating with a thickness of 3 microns.
9k Solid Gold
For longevity, AUTORE MODA has a select collection of 9k Solid Gold Jewellery. 9k Gold is composed of 37.5% pure gold and 62.6% of alloy metals. To create 9k Yellow, Rose or White Gold, different alloy metals are combined with Pure Gold.
