Made to be worn. Made to be cared for.

JEWELRY CARE

Fine jewelry is a living material. Real precious materials change with wear, time, air, skin and the way they are cared for. A few simple habits will help preserve the finish, structure and appearance of your CINCO pieces for much longer.

PUT IT ON LAST. TAKE IT OFF FIRST.

CARE BY MATERIAL

925 STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver naturally reacts with air, humidity, skin and sulphur compounds and may tarnish over time. Tarnishing is a natural characteristic of silver and does not necessarily indicate a defect.

Everyday care: Wipe gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth after wear.

Deeper cleaning: Use warm water with a small amount of mild soap and a very soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Avoid: Toothpaste, baking soda mixtures, bleach, chlorine, strong detergents, abrasive cleaners, rough cloths, paper towels and unsuitable chemical dips.

GOLD-PLATED STERLING SILVER

Gold plating is a surface layer and is not permanent. Its appearance will naturally change over time depending on frequency of wear, friction, skin chemistry, perspiration and exposure to moisture or chemicals.

Care: Use only a soft, dry cloth with gentle pressure.

Never use: Silver polishing cloths, abrasive products, metal polish, toothpaste, baking soda or strong detergents.

Avoid repeated contact with: Water, chlorine, sea water, perfume, hairspray, body lotion, sunscreen, makeup, hand sanitizer, household chemicals, heavy perspiration and constant friction.

Gradual plating wear is generally normal wear and does not, by itself, indicate a manufacturing defect.

Gold can appear warmer, brighter, or slightly different in person depending on the light. If you are still unsure about your piece, contact Customer Care.

SOLID GOLD

Solid gold does not have a plated surface, but it can still scratch, bend, dent or lose polish.

Clean with warm water, mild soap, a very soft brush and a soft non-abrasive cloth. Dry thoroughly.

Remove before contact sports, weight training, manual work, harsh chemicals and activities where the piece may be crushed, pulled or caught.

WHEN CARE ISN'T ENOUGH

Time changes jewelry. It doesn't have to end its story.

Tarnished silver can be polished. Worn plating can often be renewed. Eligible CINCO pieces may be restored through Refresh & Reborn. Refresh & Reborn can include cleaning, polishing, replating, repair, or the return of an eligible CINCO piece, subject to assessment.

Gold can appear warmer, brighter, or slightly different in person depending on the light. If you are still unsure about your piece, contact Customer Care.

WHAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR JEWELRY?

WATER & HUMIDITY
Repeated exposure may accelerate tarnishing and plating wear.

CHLORINE
Can affect metals, finishes and jewelry components.

SEA WATER & SAND
Salt and sand may accelerate oxidation, surface wear and scratching.

PERFUME & COSMETICS
Alcohol, oils and cosmetic ingredients may alter or accelerate surface wear.

SWEAT
Perspiration varies between individuals and may accelerate discoloration or plating wear.

FRICTION
Constant rubbing gradually wears surfaces.

IMPACT & PRESSURE
Drops, bending, pulling, crushing and snagging can deform metal, damage chains and compromise settings.

HEAT & EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, rapid temperature changes and direct heat sources.

IMPROPER CLEANING
Abrasive products, strong chemicals and unsuitable polishing can permanently alter a piece.

CARE & WARRANTY

GOOD CARE PROTECTS YOUR JEWELRY — AND HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.

Damage caused by external factors such as impact, pulling, misuse, inappropriate cleaning, chemicals, improper storage, heat, friction or other care contrary to our guidance may not constitute a manufacturing defect.

Normal wear, tarnishing and gradual changes to plated finishes are also different from a manufacturing defect.

If a claim is submitted, CINCO may assess the piece, its condition and the likely cause of the issue.

Nothing in these care instructions excludes or limits any mandatory statutory consumer rights.

THIRD-PARTY REPAIRS & ALTERATIONS

We recommend contacting CINCO before any repair, resizing, engraving, polishing, replating or alteration.

CINCO cannot be responsible for damage caused by third-party work. A third-party intervention may also make it harder to establish the original cause of an issue.

However, third-party work does not automatically remove mandatory statutory consumer rights unrelated to that intervention.

DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES

Stones and settings can still be damaged by impact even when the stone itself is very hard.

Avoid dropping jewelry, strong impact, pulling settings on clothing, weight training while wearing stone-set rings and unsuitable chemical or ultrasonic cleaning.

Check settings periodically. If a stone looks loose, a prong appears bent or the piece has suffered a strong impact, stop wearing it and contact CINCO.

SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS

CINCO currently does not ship to Switzerland or India. Availability may change due to customs, carriers or international restrictions. Current availability is shown at checkout. For help: [email protected].

CANCELLING AN ORDER

CINCO begins processing orders quickly. Standard order cancellation may be requested at [email protected] within one hour of purchase. CINCO will try to accommodate the request if processing has not started but cannot guarantee cancellation.

If already processed or dispatched, customers may exercise any applicable statutory withdrawal rights after receipt.

Promotional conditions may restrict voluntary cancellation before dispatch but do not remove mandatory consumer rights.

DELIVERY ESTIMATES

NORMAL WEAR VS POSSIBLE PRODUCT ISSUE

NORMAL WEAR MAY INCLUDE

  • Fine scratches
  • Loss of high polish
  • Natural patina
  • Silver tarnishing
  • Gradual gold-plating wear
  • Minor clasp adjustment after repeated use
  • Surface changes caused by friction
  • General signs of daily wear

CONTACT CINCO IF YOU NOTICE

  • A component breaking without apparent external force
  • A soldered connection failing unexpectedly
  • A stone becoming loose without known impact
  • A structural issue appearing under normal use
  • A defect visible immediately upon receipt
  • Any issue you believe may relate to manufacturing or conformity

A slight earring-post alignment change may occur with wear. Loose or missing stones, unexpected structural failure, or a possible manufacturing or conformity issue should be sent to Customer Care for assessment.

CLASPS, POSTS & DELICATE COMPONENTS

Fine jewelry contains small moving parts that may require maintenance with use.

Do not:

  • Force a clasp that feels misaligned
  • Repeatedly bend an earring post
  • Pull chains to untangle them
  • Open hoops wider than necessary
  • Use pliers or tools without guidance
  • Continue wearing a piece with a visibly damaged closure

Precious metals are naturally malleable. If something no longer closes correctly, contact Customer Care before forcing it.

Check the alignment of chains, clasps, and earring posts from time to time. Handle them gently and never use excessive force. Contact Customer Care if you are unsure.

YOUR SKIN & YOUR JEWELRY

Skin pH, perspiration, cosmetics, medication, humidity and frequency of wear can influence how metals and plated finishes change over time. Two people wearing the same piece may experience different rates of surface change. This does not automatically indicate a quality issue.

If irritation occurs, stop wearing the piece and contact us. For persistent skin reactions, seek appropriate medical advice.

THREE ESSENTIAL RULES

PUT IT ON LAST

Apply perfume, skincare, makeup, sunscreen and hair products before putting on your jewelry. Let products dry and absorb first.

TAKE IT OFF FIRST

Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, sleeping, cleaning, gardening, manual work, sauna, steam room or hot tub.

STORE IT WELL

Keep each piece individually in its CINCO pouch, away from humidity, bathrooms, direct sunlight, heat and other jewelry. Lay delicate chains carefully to prevent tangling and tension.
