Lusque Jewellery FAQ

We embrace ethical fashion initiatives to support discerning jewellery and fashion lovers.

What is your sustainability policy?
We recognise it is our responsibility to minimise our impact on the environment. We constantly seek ways to reduce waste and our carbon footprint at every stage of making. We strive to make our jewellery items from natural or upcycled/recycled materials whenever we can.

Do you have plastic-free packaging?
We avoid the use of plastic packaging at every opportunity. However, if you receive your jewellery item in plastic packaging, it is because we recycle the packaging we sometimes receive our  jewellery supplies in. We do encourage our suppliers to source alternatives where possible.

It is the accepted screen-to-product difference.

I have sensitive skin, what should I get?
Most of our jewelry is nickel free. However, as many pieces are created using upcycled elements, it is recommended that you choose pieces that are made from gold or silver and is safe for most people with sensitive skin.

Can I swim with my jewellery on?
We recommend that you avoid getting your jewellery item wet.

Avoid wearing when bathing, showering, swimming in salt or chlorinated pools and the ocean to preserve the appearance and prolong the life of your jewellery item.

We recommend removing your jewellery before excessive exposure to sun. Avoid wearing jewellery for a day at the beach or pool or when washing the dishes.

When getting dressed, we recommend putting your jewellery on after your perfume and hairspray has dried to avoid dulling the finish on your jewellery items.
