Jewellery / Silverware Care
Caring for your jewellery / silverware
All jewellery and silverware by Tom Asquith is made from sterling silver or gold (9ct 18ct or 22ct).
Take care when cleaning jewellery or silverware that is gold plated or oxidised. Always use a soft jewellery polishing cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing & chemical polishing agents. As with all plated items over time it will wear where handled and polished excessively.
Contact me for replating/reoxidising your jewellery / silverware.
All Jewellery Care:
Keep jewellery clean & use a silver/gold polishing cloth.
Avoid tarnishing by minimising exposure to the air. Store jewellery in an airtight box/pouch suitable for jewellery.
Avoid swimming in the sea or pool with Jewellery on. Salt water & chlorine can damage it.
Lotions & perfumes can tarnish & damage jewellery also.

If you purchased a ring from my shop and it's the wrong size please contact me as most rings can be resized. First resize will be free, additional resizing will be charged at my going hourly rate. Please note you, the buyer, must cover all postage costs including return postage with appropriate level of insurance.
What materials do you use?
I'm allergic to nickel. Does your jewellery contain Nickel?
Is it hallmarked?
I am registered at Birmingham Assay Office and London Assay Office, All jewellery is hallmarked as per current UK legislation, this means only gold items 1g and over in total weight and sterling silver 7.78g and over in total weight must be hallmarked.
If an item below the legal weight is requested to be hallmarked by the buyer, an additional charge will be applied. Please note this charge is nonrefundable.
Bespoke
Can I request a commission?
I am very happy to personalise or customise pieces from my existing collections. If you would like a bespoke piece designed and made especially for you or for a special person or occasion I also offer a bespoke service where you can commission a unique piece of jewellery direct from me.
How long does a commission take?
Bespoke orders/commissions may take between 6 and 12 weeks, sometimes longer sometimes less depending on design process, complexity, changes made to design at various points of the process and time of year. I aim to keep my customers fully informed throughout but if in the unlikely event you are unsure at any time please ask, I'm more than happy to help.
