​

JEWELLERY CARE GUIDELINES 

I hope you LOVE your item for many years to come

Here is some basic advice to help you care for your jewellery item: 

- Research the meaning of your sacred jewellery, what symbols, metals and gemstones it has, and wear with pride, allow this energy to flood into your energy bodies and aura, helping you heal on a deep level.  Only you will feel this energy connection that can help you access energetic frequencies for healing and enlightenment 

Some extra care includes:  

- Please handle and wear all jewellery items with care 
- STORE your jewellery out of direct sunlight, heat and away from damp, especially gemstone and clay pendants 

- Remove jewellery when playing sports, swimming and whilst involved in activities 

- DRESS JEWELLERY Clean dress jewellery with a soft damp cloth and allow to dry 

- SILVER Clean 925 Silver with a silver cleaning kit or take to a specialist (Jewellers) for specialist cleaning if in doubt 

- BRONZE clean with gentle soap and water or a soft cloth 

- NATURAL CLAY PENDANTS wipe with a damp cloth allow to dry 

- GEMSTONES wipe with a damp cloth allow to dry  

- FABRIC CORDS Wash any cord with gentle soap and allow to dry 

- PLATED METALS do not expose plated metals to perfume, chemicals.  Plated metals will tarnish over time, this is natural wear.  To increase their lifespan ensure you do not wear daily as they are considered 'dress jewellery' only, which applies especially to any complimentary 'silver plated chain'.  It is recommended you wear 925 silver or 9ct gold on a daily basis.  Avoid any metals you may have an allergy to.  Patch test your chain by wearing for a short time before wearing for any long period.  Avoid wearing dress jewellery in hot temperatures or humid environments and this will cause tarnish.  On the rare occasion skin of a certain PH may cause tarnishing, it is recommended you stop wearing any item that has fully tarnished.

ADDITIONAL POLICIES AND FAQS

FAQS - GUARANTEE-WARRANT-ETHICS-FAIRTRADE STATEMENT

​

ETHICAL GUIDELINES & FAIR TRADE STATEMENT

MalaLalaUK tries to be as ethical as possible in sourcing its gemstones and Jewellery. It is just as important to me as it is to you to source items that I sell from as reputable sources and it is my aim to work with as many suppliers and wholesalers who have the following ethics: 


​

- FAIR TRADE AND ETHICS Crystals at MalaLalaUK and at my traders are not registered as a Fair Trade Product, though I try to source gemstones from companies where they are created, treated and mined under ‘as ethical conditions as possible’. This means the workers work in a safe environment and receive a fair wage and that the natural environment is not heavily impacted by the mining (see below for more on environmental). Crystals sourced from India are more difficult to give fair trade status as they are often polished and worked on by outworkers in the home environment. It is tradition for fathers to pass on their skill to school age children in an informal family environment before they go on to practice the skill on leaving school and it is difficult to say with 100% certainty that no young person has ever touched a crystal during this process, however I am assured that it is certainly not common practice. Here I feel that I have to accept the customs of a culture which is different to ours, whilst maintaining trust by dealing with small companies that can give me a reasonable assurance that no one works against their will.

- ENVIRONMENT I work directly with traders who specialise trading directly from the mines involved in crystal mining, which vary from hand-collected specimens from both within the UK and globally, including gemstones collected from the surface (including in caves) and from small hand dug pits, to larger quarries that are still tiny compared with the massive quarries created by digging for building materials and other industrial uses. We all use these industrial minerals in our everyday lives and this has a huge impact on the environment compared to the mining of crystals.. Most of my wholesalers ship by sea to lessen the impact of air travel. Also MalaLalaUK aim to offset carbon footprints by donating to Treesisters to plant trees;they plant on average at least 15 trees a month through community projects globally

 

A FINAL NOTE

The trade of gemstones is as ancient as mankind itself, we have traded gemstones through global routes for centuries as they are so precious and beautiful it would be hard not to! And we all love the beauty and mystical metaphysics of gemstones to this day, their mesmerising appeal is within our DNA to love them. Gemstones were the first chemical structure to form on Earth, almost like the earth ‘gave birth to them first’ before plants, animals and humans.

I would like to state that the Earth’s ocean covers 70.9% of the earth’s surface, and the gemstones that are mined are from the remaining 29.1% of land mass, which leaves an amazing two thirds of the earths surface that remain full of gemstones underneath! I believe that at MalaLalaUK it is my aim to send consciously sourced and created gemstones and crystals around the globe to create a raised light vibration for all to benefit as we enter into a new phase of human existence

Thank you
