Gimmel earrings - these are adapted from a traditional ring design (from the Latin gemelus, meaning twin) consisting of two or three interlocking bands, much used from medieval times to denote love, friendship or loyalty and often used in marriage ceremonies. The earrings (and matching pendant) take the central motif of the lovers' gimmel ring (based on a German design dating from 1575) and adapt it into a circular band with a suspended central heart enclosed by hands. The earrings are made from gold-toned silver (4.387 gms), with red enamel and a cubic zirconia stone.
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
