Care

Here are some jewelry care tips to help you maintain the stunning appeal of your fine jewelry.

1. Store your jewelry in a clean, dry space. It’s best to keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined case that has compartments and dividers for your jewelry.
2. Avoid damaging chemicals such as hairspray, lotion, and perfume. Be sure to put these things on before your jewelry to limit the exposure.
3. Use mild cleaners for regular cleanings. Using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft brush is the simplest and best way to clean and keep your jewelries in great condition.
4. Gold is a soft metal. It is the most malleable of all precious metals. This makes it prone to scratches and dents. It is recommended to remove your jewelry when doing high-contact activities such as gardening or cleaning to prevent scratches and prolong its lustre.
5. Insure your jewelry. In the tragic event something happens to your precious pieces, you have piece of mind knowing your investment is protected.

Hi,
I’m Kat, the founder of Curated By Kat. My journey began in 2021 when my husband and I moved to New Zealand, and I discovered a gap in the market for fine 18k solid gold jewelry—a passion I developed while living in the United Arab Emirates for nearly five years. I realized that jewelry is more than just an accessory; it’s an investment in beauty and design. Curated by Kat is not just a business for me; it’s my creative outlet, much like a child that I nurture with care and attention.

Fast forward to 2023, I welcomed my first child, embracing the joys and challenges of motherhood. While I refocus on what truly matters—my daughter—I’m thrilled to have the support of my friends Laarnie and Jaque as we continue this exciting journey together, bringing you unique pieces that reflect our shared love for fine jewellery and individuality.

Join us at Curated Studio, where every piece is a story waiting to be worn!

As one of the founders, I couldn’t be more excited to share my passion for jewellery with you. Each piece we curate is a reflection of my belief that jewellery is not just an accessory, but a storyteller—a means of expressing individuality and celebrating life’s special moments. Inspired by the intricate craftsmanship and personal narratives behind each design, we strive to curate collections that resonate with your unique style and spark joy. Join us as we explore and showcase exquisite designs that resonate with your personal style and add a touch of elegance to your life! - Laarnie
