Motherhood Necklace by Murkani

Yellow Gold Coin Necklace with etched Motherhood drawing on pendant.

A collaborative collection of two Melbourne based creatives, the SENSE collection, features three commissioned pieces around the themes of LOVE, EMPOWERMENT and MOTHERHOOD by Melbourne based artist Octavia Tomyn. The continuous line drawings etched into metal represent the connection and longevity of the roles and strength in all of our lives.

MOTHERHOOD -  A continuous line connecting Mother and child. A bond as old as time, reflected in the ancient coin style. Motherhood is about unconditional love, rediscovering wonders and looking into the eyes of the future. Motherhood is selflessness, imperfection and a beautiful mess.

This jewellery item comes with its own dedicated signature pink MURKANI box.

JEWELLERY CARE

Gold plating is a process where layers of real gold are applied to the surface of a different material. In our case, we use a 2 micron 18 KT Yellow Gold and Rose Gold plate onto brass. While we use an excellent hand plating process with a 2-micron gold plate which is very long-wearing, it is still a plate and hence could wear off eventually as it is not solid gold.

To take care of your gold-plated jewellery and to maximize its lifespan, follow these simple tips:

• Do not wear your gold-plated jewellery when doing activities that involve heat or moisture, such as any activities involving chlorinated and sea water, exercising and anything else that would get your jewellery wet or exposed to extreme heat.

• Apply lotion and perfume before your put your jewellery on. So your jewellery should always go on last.

• Store your gold-plated jewellery separately to avoid scratches.

• To prevent tarnishing, please store your gold-plated pieces in an airtight jewellery box, pouch, or a plastic zip-lock bag. We prefer plastic zip lock bags. They may not be glamorous, but they stop the oxygen from getting in and prolong the gold colour of your jewellery.

• To clean and restore the shine to your gold-plated jewellery, you can use jewellery cleaning cloths that are intended for plated jewellery or have it serviced by a professional jeweler. You can also use a Gold Jewellery Cleaning Liquid like the Connoisseur Gold Jewellery Cleaning Liquid, specially designed for gold plated jewellery. 

• To clean the jewellery, follow the instructions on the packaging in terms of how long to dip the product into the liquid cleaner as this time may vary from brand to brand of liquid cleaner.
