Bandicoot Jewellery Care
For beautiful things to last, they need love, and care . . . .
Each Bandicoot piece is carefully designed, crafted and tested over a long period of time, to ensure no faults. All of our pieces are made from precious metals, stones and details.
Our Sterling Silver is high quality 925 Sterling Silver, which is finished and buffed to perfection. When cared for and maintained correctly, these pieces should last a lifetime.
Although we have utmost confidence in our product quality, it is entirely up to you, how they are maintained and cared for once in your hands.
We of course, encourage salty adventures, and well travelled souls, however, some pieces take a little extra love to keep shiny, so here is one of our favourite tips -
WATERBABYS -
Our story began in salt water, we love the sea, and we love wearing our jewels in the sea, however, it requires extra love with this . .
Although we know Sterling Silver can be worn in the ocean, (and we love to wear it in there) amongst other bodies of water, different minerals and different waters will affect even the best silver over time, and often causes it to tarnish.
It is out of our hands how much or how little you wear our pieces in water, so below is some tips on how to make sure your favourite silver pieces last.
Delicate Pieces - Some pieces are more delicate than others, such as our Apex Drop Earring. While some will be more sturdy for actives such as diving, and so forth.

We highly recommend always:
- Rinse your jewellery in fresh water every time is is exposed to salt, or heavy water.

- Sterling silver, precious stones, gold and other delicate details are subject to being dropped, knocked, catching, entanglement and so forth, this is dependent on how careful you are with them, and is not considered a fault. Please do not contact us with breaks causes by any of these reasons or similar, if you wish to fix your jewellery, please contact your local jeweller.

Avoid where possible:
- Storing in direct sunlight, humidity or high temperatures
