Frequently Asked Questions
The importance of handling your questions
Transparency is a benchmark value at Abarings
Why does my jewelry change color?
Don't panic, Abarings is a brand that has been committed to transparency and a traditional sector from the start.
We use precious metals, which means that they are alive, namely bronze (lead-free) and silver . Be aware that even gold can oxidize, unlike steel or aluminum, which are not precious metals but utilitarian ones .
Each acquisition made is therefore sustainable in every sense of the word.
A little maintenance and your Abarings will regain their shine.
Do not hesitate to refer to our general conditions of sale which are very detailed.
How do I care for my jewelry?
Some tips for maintaining your Abarings:
1- You can use the eraser provided to erase and restore shine to your jewelry.
2- You can moisten a soft toothbrush & apply toothpaste then gently brush your jewelry. Leave for 15 minutes then rinse with clear water.
3- Pro method: You can use the Miror or Buhler brand to clean your jewelry.
Don't hesitate to finish cleaning with your complimentary microfiber cloth.
