925 GP Butterfly Band

The 925 Gold Plated Butterfly Band is a delicate and charming piece that brings a touch of whimsical elegance to everyday wear. This ring features a slender 2mm sterling silver band crafted from premium material, designed for comfortable daily wear and easy stacking. At its centre sits a beautifully detailed 8mm flower-like butterfly motif, meticulously formed by four brilliant marquise-cut cubic zirconias that meet perfectly to shape the wings. The elegant setting is complemented by a delicate row of smaller round-cut stones pavé-set along the shoulders of the band, catching the light beautifully with every movement. Expertly finished with high-quality gold plating and a high-polished lustre, this band delivers a rich, mirror-like shine that accentuates the fine contours of the silhouette.

Plating Warranty & Care Policy

Important Notice on Plating: The following gold or rose gold item from The Azari Collection is crafted from genuine 925 Sterling Silver and finished with a high-quality surface plating. Please be advised that plating is a temporary surface treatment, not a permanent change to the metal. Over time, the plating will naturally wear away, revealing the sterling silver base beneath.

The Azari Collection is not responsible for the fading or wearing of plating. By purchasing a plated item, you acknowledge that this is a natural characteristic of the product and not a manufacturing defect. Consequently, we do not accept returns, exchanges, or refund requests due to plating wear or fading. We do, however, offer replating at a discounted rate on products purchased from us.

How to Preserve Your Finish (The “Golden Rules”)

To ensure your jewellery stays vibrant for as long as possible, you must strictly follow these care protocols. The longevity of the plating depends entirely on how the piece is treated.

1. Eliminate Chemical Contact (The 10-Minute Rule). Chemicals are the primary cause of rapid fading.

• Perfumes & Lotions: Always apply perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions first. Wait at least 10 minutes for them to fully absorb into the skin before putting on your jewellery.

• Sanitizers & Soaps: Remove your rings before using hand sanitizer, washing your hands, or applying skincare products.

2. Avoid All Moisture. Water accelerates the oxidation process of the silver underneath, which pushes the plating off.

• Zero Water Policy: Do not wear your jewellery while showering, bathing, or washing dishes.

• Pools & Oceans: Never wear plated items in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or salt water. These chemicals will strip the plating almost instantly.

3. Friction & Activity Management. Plating is removed mechanically by rubbing against other surfaces.

• Exercise: Sweat (body acidity) and the friction of gym equipment will destroy the plating. Remove jewellery before any physical activity.

• Sleep: Friction against bedsheets for 8 hours a night significantly speeds up wear. Always remove your jewellery before bed.

• Stacking: Be aware that wearing multiple rings on the same finger will cause them to rub together, wearing down the plating on the contact points.

4. Proper Cleaning & Storage

• Post-Wear Wipe: After each use, gently wipe the piece with a soft, dry microfiber cloth (like an eyeglass cloth) to remove body oils and sweat.

• Warning: Never use “Silver Polishing Cloths” or liquid jewellery cleaners on plated items. These are chemically treated to remove tarnish and will strip the gold plating off immediately.

• Airtight Storage: When not in use, store your jewellery in an airtight bag or a lined jewellery box. Exposure to open air (oxygen and humidity) causes the base silver to tarnish, which lifts the plating.

Summary: Your jewellery should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night. With proper care, your plating can last a long time; without it, it will fade rapidly.
