Description

According to the Renaissance alchemists, all material substances are made up of the "Tria Prima" or Three Primes; mercury (spirit), salt (body) and sulphur (soul). Mercury: To the Renaissance alchemists, mercury's volatility made it the agent of transformation, representing the transmutation of spirit. Sulphur: Was considered a transforming essence, representing the soul of all material and living things, and associated with the power of the sun and nature. Salt: Represented the feminine, the earth and the human body. A powerful preservative (the Egyptians used it in mummification), it was considered a path to immortality. Ethically Mined Sterling Silver with 18ct Yellow Gold plating. Choose from: A (Salt), B (Sulphur), C (Mercury) STORE CAREFULLY Store your jewellery pieces individually so they don't scratch, keep your chains fastened so they don't become tangled and close hoop earrings. Silver and gold vermeil jewellery will naturally tarnish and oxidise with time and wear. Storing your jewellery in a sealed plastic bag will keep out the air that causes oxidation. WEARING We advise not to swim, or shower while wearing gold vermeil jewellery, and remove rings when washing your hands. Chlorine, salt water, shower products, perfume, hairspray, lotions and deodorant can tarnish your jewellery (especially gold vermeil) and make them look dull. Avoid sleeping in pieces as they will have increased wear and pressure. GOLD VERMEIL We plate sterling silver jewellery with high micron hard gold plating. Gold plating is a surface layer and will wear over time. Earrings and necklaces tend to get less wear than rings.
