Caring for Your  Jewelry                                            

The Claudia Lobao Jewelry line is comprised of fashion jewelry. Jewelry is made with a base metal or either Brass or Cooper (Brass and Copper are NOT Precious metals ) and Electroplated in Gold Alloy or Imitation Rhodium.

Claudia Lobao Fashion Jewelry is electroplated with gold or a gold alloy and such electroplating is of such karat fineness, thickness, and extent of surface coverage that reasonable durability is assured. Gold plate refers to items that are mechanically plated, electroplated or plated with gold to a base metal some other way. Eventually, gold plating wears away, but how soon depends on how often the item is worn and how thick the plating is.

All Claudia Lobao products are warranted for one year from the purchase date. There might be situations that a reseller sells items that are no longer part of our current catalog or an item is discontinued. In  certain situations, Claudia Lobao may substitute the item for another item of equal or greater value.

Proper care should be observed when handling any Claudia Lobao jewelry item. The pieces are designed to withstand normal use. Stretching of chains, exposure to harsh chemicals and environmental conditions will negatively affect the durability of the pieces and may void the warranty.

We recommend gently wiping the metal surface with a polishing cloth, however, excessive polishing will rub off the plating and is not recommended. Do not use jewelry cleaners or ultrasonic equipment as they may adversely affect the condition of your jewelry. They often employ harsh chemicals that strip away plating.

Claudia Lobao uses stones in the collection which are natural gemstones. The stones will often vary in shape, size and color. Inclusions can be seen in natural stones and is a part of their beauty. Inclusions are not a defect.

Some Gemstones may have had their color altered by means of a dyeing process to enhance their color for consistency. None of the Gemstones used by Claudia Lobao are Precious Gemstones.

Some of the pieces have Imitation or Synthetic Pearls. An Imitation Pearl: A manufactured product composed of any material or materials that simulate in appearance a pearl or cultured pearl. The product description of items that use pearls will be followed by the words, "Artificial", "Imitation", "Simulated" or "Synthetic" The description shall convey to the purchaser that the product contains no Genuine Pearls.

Wooden Rings

Caring for Wooden Rings

Wooden rings require some level of care that should be adhered to in order to ensure a sustained durability. The wooden rings need to be oiled or waxed periodically (just as you would wooden furniture). You may apply mineral oil, or wood wax and wipe with a cloth.

Do not use lacquers or cleaning products that are non-food safe. As mentioned above, Mineral Oil is an excellent choice to maintain the integrity of the wooden ring. Wooden rings should be kept away from moisture and should not be soaked in water.

Rings that show apparent water damage will void any warranty. Wooden rings may crack or become damaged if the ring is abused, exposed to moisture or chemical agents.

Wooden rings are not metal and cannot withstand the same amount of abuse and stress as a metal ring might. Common scene should guide you as to what and what not to do with a wooden ring.

Clear and evident abuse may void the warranty.

Country of Origin (COO)

Many items on the Claudia Lobao collection cannot contain the COO labels or hallmarks on the item itself. This might be due to the items size (such as an earring), or the cost involved for that item. Every item however is shipped to the retailer with a clear indication as to the Country of Origin with labels attached to the polybags listing the COO. We cannot control whether or not the retailer chooses to identify our products with our polybags listing the COO.
