The L|C Innovation: The Oceanic Wet Look
CARE GUIDE - MY PROMISE: LIVING WITH IT
For more than ten years, the House of L|C has been developing a unique craftsmanship to offer creations that brave the test of time.
My Oceanic Wet Look is the result of more than six months of research in the atelier. This exclusive process makes it possible to freeze the brilliance of water on each seashell, creating a definitive protective shield.
Unlike conventional jewelry, this method renders the archival piece invulnerable to salt, sand, or water, guaranteeing exceptional durability without the need for complex maintenance.
CARE OF 925 STERLING SILVER, GOLD FILLED, AND GOLD PLATED
To optimize the care of your jewelry, it is essential to know its composition and differentiate between precious metals and simple gold plating:
-
14K Gold Filled & 925 Sterling Silver: These noble metals offer total resistance. They form the natural home for the Miyuki beads and hand-crafted charms. You can live, swim, and sleep in these pieces without altering their brilliance.
-
Gold-Plated Elements: This finish is more sensitive to prolonged friction. To preserve the gilding on these specific pieces, it is recommended to remove them during workouts or before going to sleep.
The Alchemy of the Skin
We are not all equal when it comes to jewelry. Certain skin sensitivities can alter surface gilding (a huge thank you to Isabelle from Seignosse for our joint testing!). Read more.
Tip: In case of skin sensitivity, opt for my 100% 14-karat Gold Filled (Laminé) designs.
CLEANING AND PROTECTION OF YOUR JEWELRY
NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED (Seashell, Gold, and Silver)
If contact with cosmetics (such as sunscreen) dulls the surface, a simple rinse with clear water and mild soap is all it takes to restore the full depth of the Oceanic Wet Look, as well as the metals—including gold plating.
