PRODUCT ENQUIRES
Tessellate.Co will never compromise on the quality of our jewellery. We strive to create stunning pieces that you can wear and love for a long time to come. Our pieces do not rust easily or have severe discolouration over time, but to ensure that your Tessellate.Co pieces remain as timeless classics, some basic care will be required. Here are some tips to get you started.
Can I constantly wear my jewellery, even in the shower?
No problem with that! Our jewellery is designed for everyday use and will not easily tarnish even if it comes into contact with water or soap. In fact, wearing your jewelry regularly can reduce the rate of tarnishing as the oils on your skin naturally 'clean' the metal.*
However, try to prevent your jewellery from coming into direct contact with chemicals and even some perfumes, moisturisers and essential oils, as it might cause your jewellery to lose shine. Should your jewellery tarnish, you can still restore its shine by polishing it.
*There are some rare cases whereby a silver piece tarnishes quicker, and this is due to the pH level of each individual. For most people, silver is an easy to maintain material, but if you find that your silver piece tarnishes quickly, it might not be a material suitable for you.
My jewellery pieces are slightly tarnished. What do I do?
For 925 Silver
- Sterling Silver jewellery requires minimal care.
- It does not stain your fingers (i.e. leave green marks) when in contact with sweat
- In the case of oxidisation, you may use a polishing cloth to shine your jewellery, or clean it using warm water and soap.
For Rose/Yellow Gold Plated on 925 Silver
- Gold Plated jewellery gives a different colour than the usual Silver, and can make a jewellery shinier.
- However, Gold-plated jewellery will require care should you wish to retain its shine. Scratching of the jewellery/contact with liquids will cause the coating and gold plating to wear off, but with proper care, it can last up to 6 months.
- After the plating has faded, the natural look of silver will be restored and you can care for it as instructed above.
- To restore the rose / yellow plating, you may opt for repeating once every 6-12 months. We offer this service in store at $30.
Special Gemstones
- You may wish to keep certain gemstones such as Natural Turquoise and Opal away from water, as they may change the original colour of the gemstones. Opal will turn clear when put in water but will restore its colour when it's dry.
- Apart from jewellery polishing tips, here are some other tips to care for your jewellery.
How do I care for my jewellery to ensure longevity?
- Take your jewellery off if you're involved in any activity which could scratch, knock or damage it.
- Keep it well away from chemicals, such as chlorine. If it does come into contact with chemicals, rinse it in water immediately.
- Bathe and apply any lotions or perfumes before you put your jewellery on. Organic gemstones like opals are particularly vulnerable to acids, even perspiration.
- Make sure chains and necklaces are fastened when storing to avoid tangling.
- Store each jewellery piece separately, ideally in a soft-lined box or case, so that your favourite pieces don't tangle, rub or scratch one another.
- When storing jewellery, please keep it away from sunlight, excessive heat or damp conditions.

Tell me more about your partnership with Fior Di Loto.
Since the founding of the brand in 2014, Tessellate.Co has been rooted in the values of women empowerment. As a brand, we have been sponsoring the education of 3 girls in India by partnering with Fior Di Loto, a foundation that works towards making education possible for women & girls in India. We’re happy that our customers get to join us in our efforts on this cause while bringing home jewellery that they love. You may read more about our partnership here & here.
Tell me more about your efforts on sustainability.
We have made significant changes to our business on the sustainability front, such as pledging to achieve net-zero emissions & adopting the approach of slow fashion.
First, we offset the emissions of every order by purchasing equivalent carbon credits that go towards supporting climate action projects. Second, we are doing away with frequent product releases & are now focused on our classic pieces, which would be the mainstays of the brand. Even with capsule collections that are released every quarter, we produce in limited quantities to reduce potential wastage. Nevertheless, we are still a work in progress & are actively finding ways to improve. You may read more here.
Tell me more about your partnership with Terrapass.
We are partnering with Terrapass to offset the carbon emissions from our business. First, we measure the carbon emissions for each order. Then we proceed to purchase the equivalent amount of carbon credits from Terrapass. These credits go towards supporting certified climate action projects, such as methane capture projects that directly reduce greenhouse gases released in the atmosphere.
