Lucky bracelets and necklaces can be worn in water. Rinse with fresh water after swimming.

 

Our Lucky pieces are delicate in nature and will become unique to the wearer over time. If worn daily, the silk will eventually deteriorate as it is a natural fiber.

If you wish to have your piece refurbished or repaired, please contact our Customer Service team at customerservice@carolinabucci.com.

K.I.S.S.

Whilst our K.I.S.S. bracelets, necklaces and rings show great elasticity, they remain pieces of fine jewellery and should be treated as such. They are best stored in their original pouch and shouldn't be kept underneath anything heavy, including other jewellery.

Keeping your K.I.S.S. jewellery in the original pouch will also prevent unnecessary exposure to environmental polluants or hash light, which may cause the gold to darken.

We are more than happy to clean your 18k gold K.I.S.S. pieces at one of our stores. We do not recommend the cleaning of jewellery with treated polishing cloths or brushes.

Pavé
