Jewellery care and other FAQs

Please note that each individual product is made by hand and therefore is completely unique. Small variations such as shape and material are part of the unique character of our jewellery.

As with all jewellery, all gemstone settings should be inspected from time to time. If there is any movement, contact us to have it repaired or go to a local jeweller. All our stones are set with great care and Lunnemann Jewellery is not responsible for stones lost after purchase. Please note that most of our stones are carefully selected for their uniqueness, meaning we cannot guarantee an identical replacement in the event of stone loss, but we will do our best to find as close a match as possible. All matte surfaces on metals eventually become shiny and will show a natural polished surface with time and use, this is part of the nature of the metal as it likes to be shiny. We like the idea that it will change and evolve with you as the metal is used.

Most of our jewellery is designed for everyday use. Diamonds and Sapphires are all hard gemstones that do not scratch easily with use. Clean regularly with a soft toothbrush, liquid soap, and warm water to avoid dirt build-up and to ensure the stone continues to shine beautifully.

Some pieces of jewellery, such as from the Cumulus collection, feature materials such as pearls and softer gemstones that will become scratched with daily use, so extra care must be taken with these pieces and occasional use is recommended. Clean occasionally; for the gems use a soft toothbrush and liquid soap. Please be careful when cleaning pearls as soap can ruin their shine. Never use an acidic soap.

General care tips

Remove your jewellery before practical activities. This will ensure that your jewellery is not accidentally damaged.

Skin and hair cosmetics can react with gemstones and metals and cause your jewellery to oxidize, discolour or possibly corrode. Always put on your jewellery last, after using cosmetics, perfume and sprays.

When storing your jewellery, we recommend doing so in an airtight box or bag. Especially silver jewellery – when exposed to oxygen – can oxidize over time. Sensible storage will keep them neat and beautiful for longer. Do not store your jewellery in damp environments as this will cause oxidation and will attract dirt which can settle in parts where it can be difficult to clean.

Be extra careful when cleaning jewellery with precious stones and pearls. If you have the slightest doubt, please contact us.

 

Ring size

Please do your best to inform us of your correct ring size when placing an order. Your local jeweller can help you with the exact ring size by measuring your finger or by measuring one of your rings that is the correct size.

If you provide the wrong ring size, we can adjust the ring for you for a small fee. Price depends on ring and size.

Tips for measuring your ring size:

The size of your finger can change over the course of a day – the best time to measure it is towards the end of the day when your fingers are largest. Never measure ring size when your hands are cold, as your fingers may be up to ½ size smaller than normal.

Your ring should fit comfortably on your finger – it should be tight enough for it not to fall off your finger, but still loose enough to slide over the knuckle of your finger.

If you are buying a gift, the best way to find the right ring size is to borrow his or her ring (for the correct finger) and have it measured by a local jeweller.

 

 

FAQs

The materials we use

Tell about your metals?

All our jewellery is handmade in superior quality metals. We use Eco-/re-cycled gold and silver from our precious metal suppliers. All jewellery has the authenticity stamp and are stamped with the ‘maker’s mark’/name stamp.

What is the story behind your diamonds?

Diamonds are the hardest material found in nature. It is the clearest material, giving its unique capabilities of reflecting light in the most beautiful way.

The diamonds used at Rikke Lunnemann jewellery adhere to the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley process unites administrations, civil societies, and industry in reducing the flow of conflict diamonds (rough diamonds used to finance wars against governments) around the world.

Rikke Lunnemann feels a deep sense of responsibility for using a precious material that has been taken out of the ground in the right way, so the diamonds can be treasured for years to come as future heirlooms.

When shopping for diamond jewellery four criteria is used, known as the four c’s:

Carat
Carat refers to the actual weight measurement of the diamonds. The larger the diamond is, the greater the rarity and therefore it is more valuable. You can see the total carat weight on each product.

Colour
Refers to the actual colour of the diamond. The closer to being colourless the diamond is, the higher the level of brilliance.

Clarity
Refers to how many inclusions and irregularities a diamond has. Less light will come from the diamond if there are many inclusions. The rarity and value of the diamond increase as these imperfections are not visible to the naked eye.

Rikke Lunnemann uses a clarity of VVS – this stand for Very, Very, Slightly included and these diamonds are very high quality.

Cut
Refers to the facets and their proportions on the surface. In a well-proportioned stone light enters from above and is reflected in all the facets of the bottom.

Rikke Lunnemann mainly uses brilliant cut diamonds. These brilliant cut diamonds radiate the light outwards and enhance the diamonds beautiful sparkle.

What is the story behind your pearls and sustainability?

Pearls are an organic material cultivated in oysters, where layers upon layers of mother-of-pearl is deposited onto the core of a pearl. Every layer is so delicate that it takes 1.000 layers to achieve a total thickness of 0.5 mm of pearl. I can take up to 7-10 years to grow a pearl.

At Lunnemann Jewellery we only work with the best of quality in cultured pearls, and most of our pearls are sustainable. Our supplier visits the pearl farms in French Polynesia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Mexico regularly. This way they can ensure that the conditions under which the pearl production takes place comply with sustainable principles.

When harvesting sustainable pearls, no treatment will be performed, there will be no manipulation with colours or lustre. The pearls will appear with the qualities the oyster has created, and by using sustainable methods for cultivating pearls, even higher quality of pearls can be obtained. The principles of sustainability can be applied to both saltwater pearls and saltwater Keshi. Due to current conditions and today’s methods for cultivating Freshwater Pearls these types of pearls are not sustainable.

Are all your jewellery unique?

Each piece of jewellery is completely handmade in our studio and therefore each piece of jewellery is unique. Therefore, it is important to be aware that small variations will occur and will vary slightly from the photo you may have seen. Gemstone and metal colours may also vary slightly, and sizes are reasonably accurate. No two pieces of jewellery are exactly alike.
