FAQ
Of
what base material is Blush Indigo jewellery made of?
All Bali bracelets are made of colorful Matsuno glass beads from Japan.
The base metal is brass, gold or silver
plated. All 24k gold dipped made in Germany and Italy. On top the
silver colour is plated with rhodium, which
is a very hard metal that protects the silver from oxidizing.
We have extended our collection to include more Fine Jewellery made of 18k
gold-plated 925 silver. The
gold plating is very high quality, so you will enjoy it for a long
time. We always recommend to take off the gold plated jewellery when
showering or doing sports.
Each piece is unique and individually made so there may be slight variations in colour, size, shape or texture, especially with natural gemstones.
Can the gold plating rub off?
Our
plating is of high quality. However it is only a layer. It will fade
over time because of contact with clothes, hard surfaces, sweat,
perfume, hairspray, air pollution and others. Everyday or very
frequent wear may speed up this process, especially on items like
bracelets, which have more frequent contact with surfaces. The same
goes for the silverlined beads. The gold or silver color will fade
over time, due to the wire which will rub of on the inside.
Where best to keep my jewellery when
I'm at home?
When you're not wearing your jewelry
you should keep them in a secure place, like jewelry boxes. Do not
keep your jewelry in the bathroom because all of the moisture from
your shower and sink will make the pieces tarnish extra quickly.
Avoid direct contact with water and
chemical products e.g. soap, perfume, abrasive products.
Do not wear jewelry when in the
swimming pool, sauna/steam room or while bathing or showering.
Chlorine, hairspray, oils, moisturizers & perfumes can all cause
tarnishing and damage. Remove jewelry when doing household tasks and
while in the gym.
How can I take care of my jewelry?
Gently wipe jewelry clean with a soft
cloth after each wear to remove make up and oils (from skin). Coil
chains gently to prevent damage in storage. Don’t yank or pull
chains.
You should treat
your jewelry like any other wardrobe item.
Do
you repair Blush Indigo jewellery?
Sorry,
we cannot. Note that all bracelets are strong enough to weather your
everyday life. Please accept that we cannot repair or exchange
bracelets that are broken because on some mishap on your part.
If
your jewellery breaks due to a production error, you have the right
to claim compensation within 6 months from the date you purchased
your products. This will, however, only apply if you are able to
provide valid proof of the date of purchase. If you are able to
provide such proof, you will receive a new piece. Please contact us
via email stating your order number, description and photo of the
damage.
Please note that you cannot claim any compensation
for complains about the gold or silver plating since their
perdurance depends upon your individual treatment and care.
Can
I order the bracelets in a size of my choice?
No. All bracelets
are one size, but adjustable in size to a certain degree. However
they are often differences due to the production process. We
recommend that you leave us additional information in the check-out
process. Do you have small or strong wrists? What colors do you
prefer?
Some articles like the Hello Tassel bracelet with mixed
colors may vary from the product pictured as stated in the product
description. You will find a box for your notes in the order
process. We will do our best to consider it. If you are unsure about
anything please contact us by sending an email to
hello@blush-indigo.com.
How are the working conditions of the
craftsmen?
All bracelets are handmade by Balinese men and
women who work from home. This way they can be with their family and
have a steady income. From the beginning we made it clear that we
wanted no factory made bracelets. All our artisans are from the
moslem minority in Bali, who are famous for their craftsmanship.
Originally from Java, they are seeking a better life in Bali.
We
are working closely with our producer and head-craftsmen in Bali and
check in on the production whenever we are on the island. Follow us
on Instagram to get more insights about our production and life in
Bali.
My bracelet is a present. Can I
order it in a gift box?

You can add it at check-out to your order. It’s 8×8 cm and has a blush-rose top with an indigo-blue bottom. The inside features a rose-colored cushion that will make a cozy home for your purchase.
