Kate & Kole encapsulates classic style reimagined. We offer timeless fine jewellery centred around quality metals, diamonds and stones.
Our jewellery is created by combining modern technology and traditional jewellery practices. Each piece is finished carefully by hand in our working studio in Honeysuckle.
We believe in the longevity of our jewelry, but proper care is essential to maintain its beauty. Avoid exposure to perfumes, cosmetics, perspiration, chlorine, and other chemicals, which can tarnish metals. Jewelry should not rub against other metals or surfaces as it can scratch. Always remove pieces before sleeping, exercising, or swimming to prevent significant wear and tear. Store items in a soft pouch or the custom packaging provided, ensuring they stay clean and protected from scratches.
While our jewellery is crafted to last, regular inspections are crucial to keep your stones secure. Wear can loosen settings over time, so professional checks are recommended to identify issues like weakened prongs. Proper maintenance ensures your diamonds remain safe and your jewelry retains its value and brilliance. Additionally, avoid exposing your pieces to force or weight, as these can stress the settings and lead to damage.
Chains, though designed for everyday wear, can weaken with time if not properly cared for. Avoid wearing chains while sleeping as they can tangle and stretch, causing damage. Be mindful when chains catch on clothing, as even unnoticeable stress can compromise the links. To extend their life, store them carefully and handle them gently, removing them first when undressing and putting them on last after dressing to avoid accidental catches.
Our earrings are delicate and require careful handling, particularly when inserting or removing them. Avoid putting too much pressure on posts and backs to prevent bending or breakage. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by a gentle pat dry with a soft cloth, will help maintain their luster. Use a gold or silver polishing cloth for a more thorough clean, and store them properly to prevent exposure to harsh surfaces or chemicals that can tarnish the metal.
Your Tennis piece an investment and as such designed to stand the test of time. To avoid damage of your piece avoid wearing during activities like exercising, swimming, or cleaning avoid excessive pulling or bending, as the flexible design can be delicate. When storing your tennis we recommend storing in a soft pouch when not in use to prevent scratches or tangling. When wearing, ensure the clasp is secure and the links are intact to prevent accidental loss — to remove, use our guide here so as not to damage the setting.
