Personalised jewellery Info
Can I add engraving later?
While I wish I could say yes, Unfortunately, we are unable to engrave on a piece that has already been sent out, this is due to a few reasons, the main one being we wouldn't want to make an error in the engraving when we add to it later and accidentally damage your selected piece.

Yes!
Just select lobster clasp instead of fob on the product page, and it will be free flowing.
Jewellery Care
What is gold plated?
Gold plated jewellery is a great alternative to pure gold. This is an extremely resilient Gold coating process over a base of stainless steel, so is very resilient to tarnishing and wear, lasting
A layer of gold often 14k or 18k applied to a base metal through electroplating. This involves using an electric current to deposit the gold onto the base metal. The finished product is a beautiful piece which should last many years.
How do I care for my gold plated piece?
To maintain its shine please avoid wearing while swimming in the ocean or chlorinated pools. We recommend giving your jewellery a quick polish with a polish pad to ensure its looking its best; and when not being worn, store in an airtight container.
How do I care for my stainless steel silver piece?
Stainless steel silver is a precious metal and should not tarnish over time. We recommend giving your jewellery a quick polish with a polish pad to ensure its looking its best; and when not being worn, store in an airtight container.
Do your products contain nickel?
All our stainless steel silver and gold plated/rose gold plated products contain nickel to support the chains structure and corrosion.
How do I care for my pearls?
To give them the longest life looking their best, it is recommended to keep them dry at all times and to give them a wipe with a soft, dry jewellery cloth after each wear.
It's extremely important to take care of freshwater pearls and keep them clean to ensure they maintain their original lustre. Pearls shouldn't be worn in chlorinated water or exposed to dish washing liquid/hand soap etc, and ideally should avoid contact with any moisturiser, sun lotions, perspiration and perfumes.
How do I care for my crystal and stone pieces
we always recommend removing your The Twelve piece before bathing, exercising and swimming, as many gemstones are porous so may change in appearance if exposed in these instances.
