Care

Our luxurious leather straps are treated using the highest-quality tanning methods. Variations and imperfections are characteristic of genuine tanned leather products, which may darken, fade or change in colour and texture over time. This is evidence of the leather’s purity, not a defect, fault or quality issue. We consider the natural ageing process as part of the beauty of organic materials. In order to preserve your leather, we recommend treating your strap with a leather protector before wear to provide resistance against dirt and moisture. Remember to keep your leather strap away from intense sunlight, heat, water, humidity, makeup and perfume to prevent any damage or marking. When it comes to removing small stains, we suggest gently wiping the leather with a soft, thoroughly wrung cloth and mild soapy water. Repeat using clean water. Straps are not covered under warranty, but our repairs centre SWICO do hold limited stock of replacement straps that are available to purchase. You should expect to have to replace your straps every 6-12 months. Back to top

Olivia Burton uses the best plating methods available, but it is the nature of plating to wear over time, especially when it comes into contact with body creams and perfumes. To keep your watch looking pristine, we always recommend removing your watch when it may come into contact with water, perfumes and body creams. Please note: Rose-gold plating is, by nature, less durable and will fade quicker over time.

Your watch has a water-resistant rating of 1ATM or 10m (1 Bar), making it suitable for everyday use and resistant to modest water/rain splashes. To prolong your watch’s lifespan, we always recommend removing it before swimming, showering and bathing. It’s also vital to take off your watch before entering a steam room or a sauna. Extreme heat can cause watch seals to expand and create openings for water droplets to penetrate inside the design. Please note: any water damage to your watch is not covered under warranty.

If your watch experiences a sudden change in temperature or pressure, you may notice condensation appearing under the crystal glass. This generally disappears by itself if left alone. Please do not attempt to aid this by exposing your watch to heat to dry it out, as this may damage the watch and will only cause the condensation to persist.

When you’re not wearing your Olivia Burton jewellery styles, we recommend keeping them stored individually in the pouches that they arrived in. If you have our bracelets or necklaces, it’s best to store these with the chains fastened to minimise any scratching or tangling. Water can discolour jewellery, so we always recommend removing it before bathing, showering or swimming. Avoid storing your jewellery in intense sunlight and away from contact with perfumes, makeup, body and sun creams as they can cause plated items to tarnish.

It’s characteristic for sterling silver jewellery to darken slightly over time. To revive your sterling silver styles, gently polish them using a silver polishing cloth. We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths that have been treated with cleaners or polishing agents. For all other items, we recommend wiping with a soft dry cloth to help revive the shine.

To adjust the length, simply take hold of the polished round ball on the adjustable fastening and slide up or down the chain until your necklace/bracelet is at the desired length.
