Care

We handcraft all our pieces in Spain, which means no two pieces are the same, making them unique. Many of our pieces feature texture, an essential part of the design.
We only work with 18-karat gold, sterling silver, and 18-karat gold plating , so with proper care, your jewelry can last a lifetime in perfect condition.
We recommend avoiding the use of chemicals such as perfumes and lotions near your jewelry. Store your jewelry in a safe, dry place, so it can be stored in its original box.

 

 

Silver:
Silver can oxidize naturally, showing a patina (oxidation) over time.
There are specific products on the market to clean your jewelry, but if you want to do it naturally, use warm water with neutral soap and a cotton cloth.
For a deeper cleaning, please contact care@rigido.es

Gold:
In the case of gold, always use specific products for its care.

Vermeil (23-carat gold plating):
It is a surface treatment applied to sterling silver, so special care is required, as these are delicate pieces that can be damaged with improper care.
Remove and store the parts before exercising, bathing, swimming, or sleeping. Use only soap and water to clean and dry them thoroughly.

Zirconia:

Stones obtained through ethical, sustainable, and eco-responsible processes in a factory in Córdoba.

For us it was important to find a factory that meets three pillars:

Health and Safety and Environment

Labor standards

Business ethics

Zirconia Care:

Hardness and tenacity
The hardness of gems and minerals is measured on the Mohs scale.

Our zircons have a Mohs scale rating of 7. They can be used in all types of jewelry, provided they are properly cared for to avoid rough use or strong impacts.

Zirconia is stable to exposure to chemicals.

Cleaning
It is recommended to clean the zirconia with warm water and soap.

Enamel:
Enamel jewelry is made by fusing powdered glass with a base metal at high temperatures to create a bright, vibrant design. Enameling is a complex technique that is done by hand, piece by piece.

Enamel care:
This material can be damaged if exposed to high temperatures, seawater, humidity, and harsh chemicals. To preserve the beauty of your piece, do not bathe, swim, or shower with it, as these situations can degrade the enamel more quickly. Be careful not to hit it against another object, as this may crack the enamel. Treat your jewelry as the valuable piece it is, and it will last forever! Clean it with warm water (no more than 3 minutes), gently dry it with a cloth, and store it in a safe, dry place.

Warranty:

Rígido offers a two-year warranty on all of its jewelry. During this period, any repair or replacement for defects or damage due to the manufacturing of the product or the materials used will be covered by Rígido.

After this time, please inquire about repair and cleaning rates at care@rigido.es
