Every Forbidden Hill collection begins with a story, woven into pieces to be styled your way. Crafted from carefully selected materials and finished to the highest standards, they are made to be worn and treasured. To preserve their beauty, please take note of the following care instructions.

To preserve the finish of your jewellery, avoid contact with perfumes, creams,  chemicals, heavy sweat and abrasive surfaces. Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising or household cleaning.

After wearing, gently wipe your jewellery with a microfibre or soft clean cloth to remove oils and moisture.

To clean your Cuff, first remove the Silk Slide, then wash gently with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. You can use a soft toothbrush if needed. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a microfibre or soft clean cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking.

Keep your jewellery in its pouch and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Consider storing it with anti-tarnish strips in an airtight bag, especially in humid environments, to help minimise tarnishing.

Learn more about caring for silver and plated jewellery

Our Cuffs are either rhodium-plated or gold-plated and finished with a clear, protective coating (e-coating). 

Rhodium is a hard precious metal that does not tarnish. However if it is scratched or worn away, the underlying metal will be exposed and tarnish may develop. Similarly, if the underlying metal of your gold-plated Cuff becomes exposed through natural wear, tarnish may develop. 

Following the General Care instructions above will increase your Cuff's longevity. 

Do not use silver cleaning solutions, harsh cleaners, solvents or the baking soda and aluminium foil cleaning method for your Cuffs, as these may damage the finish.

Should the plating on your well-loved Cuff wear away and tarnishing develops on the underlying metal, you are welcome to trade it in with us for a replacement piece of the same design at a discounted price. Contact at customer.service@forbiddenhill.pro for more information. 

When washing your hands, it is best to push your Cuff up your arm, or take it off. Though the Silk Slides won’t be damaged by small splashes of water that dry quickly, large drops of water may leave water stains.

You may want to hand wash your Silk Slides every now and again if there is a build up of sweat, light stains or dust.

To hand wash your Silk Slides:

• Dip the Silk Slides in lukewarm water, apply a drop of delicate detergent on both sides and gently rub into the fabric to lift off dust and stains.
• Wait for a couple of minutes before rinsing the Slides under cold running water and remove all traces of detergent. Do not leave the Silk Slides resting in the water for more than 2-3 minutes.
• Soak up excess water by pressing the Slides between clean paper towels. Discard the paper towels and let the Slides dry naturally in the open air.
