FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRODUCT
where does the jewelry production take place?
all of our jewelry products are designed and manufactured in portugal (europe).
what are the CINCO jewelry pieces made of?
all jewelry pieces are made in portugal, with 925 sterling silver, 925 sterling silver with 24k gold plating, 19.2 karat gold or 18 karat gold. CINCO pieces are certified by INCM - imprensa nacional - casa da moeda, S.A. INCM provides this assurance by checking the legal touch (precious metal per thousand contained in an alloy) and the application of contrast with the responsibility mark, manufacturer or equivalent.
do CINCO products have a warranty?
CINCO pieces are guaranteed for 3 years from the date of delivery to the customer. this warranty covers any defects in the parts that originate in its manufacture and manifest themselves during this 3 year period.
this warranty does not include damage caused by misuse or accidents, lost items, scratches that come with normal wear and tear, insurance against physical or accidental wear and/or damage. CINCO cannot guarantee that the gold-plating of our items will last forever. we do not recommend having our products worked on by outside jewelers as this voids any potential for refund or replacement.
to benefit from our warranty, get in touch with our customer service info@cinco-store.com that will be happy to help.
will the gold plating last forever?
unfortunately, no. the gold plating color will fade overtime due to its contact with skin, clothing, surfaces, household products, perfume, hairspray, and more.
how should I take care of my jewelry pieces?
SILVER STEARLING
with proper care, your jewelry will retain its beauty and character, but please be careful:
925 sterling silver can tarnish - it's normal for gold-plated pieces to lose color. exposure to salty air and sulfur-containing products, such as rubber bands and some papers, will accelerate this process.
avoid exposing gold-plated jewelry to household products, makeup, perfume, hairspray, body oils, water, and other substances that will quickly cause gold to discolor.
please avoid humidity or heat as this may cause tarnishing.
our sterling silver jewelry has a rhodium-plated bath to protect the material from exposure and helps reduce long-term tarnishing.
jewelry storage is also important. when not wearing it, we recommend that you store it in a suitably lined box or pouch, such as the one we offer. don't leave it in a damp room.
clean your CINCO pieces frequently with a clean, soft cloth. you can also use a mild detergent with warm water and a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. this way your pieces will keep their shine for longer.
please note that sometimes your skin's pH level can intensify the changes in gold-plated jewelry.
silver and gold plating services are available. if you would like to have your jewelry polished, please contact our customer service at info@cinco-store.com.
GOLD
our 19.2 karat and 18 karat gold pieces can be used all the time, they never fade. if you see any kind of change, you can use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and rub the area until it's gone.
if you want to clean your 18 karat or 19.2 karat gold pieces, you can mix a few drops of detergent free soap with warm water and soak your jewelry one piece at a time. then use a very soft brush to gently clean each piece. finally, dry the jewelry lightly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or paper towel.
