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.

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.

please find the latest gold and silver rate chart here.

unfortunately, no. the gold plating color will fade overtime due to its contact with skin, clothing, surfaces, household products, perfume, hairspray, and more.

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.

every piece of jewelry is an investment — not only in style but in longevity. with the right care, your jewelry can retain its brilliance and accompany you for years to come. below are a few essential tips to help preserve the beauty and craftsmanship of your pieces.

while our pieces are thoughtfully treated to help resist dullness, proper care is still key to maintaining their original glow.

• exposure to air and environmental elements over time can reduce shine.
• tarnishing is natural, but gentle cleaning can help restore your jewelry’s appearance.
• removing your jewelry before sleeping, showering, or engaging in physical activities.
• certain elements like sweat, perfume, cleaning agents, chlorine, saltwater, and even some skincare products can compromise your jewelry’s surface and finish.

gold-plated pieces are crafted with care but naturally more delicate than solid gold. over time, the color may soften depending on how they are worn and cared for. factors like skin pH, product use, and sweat can influence this process. with gentle handling and thoughtful care, you can extend the life and look of your plated jewelry.

to clean your jewelry safely: mix mild soap with lukewarm water and use a soft toothbrush to gently clean, especially in hard-to-reach areas. If needed, rinse again in clean water. Important: be extra gentle with gold-plated items — excessive rubbing may cause the plating to wear off. a designated silver-polishing cloth can help restore luster to silver pieces, but won’t remove scratches or marks.

gold-plated pieces are crafted with care but naturally more delicate than solid gold. over time, the color may soften depending on how they are worn and cared for. factors like skin pH, product use, and sweat can influence this process. with gentle handling and thoughtful care, you can extend the life and look of your plated jewelry.

these pieces are delicate and deserve gentle handling. when removing rings, always do so from the sides — never pull on the center stone. we recommend taking off your jewelry before swimming, as pool chemicals can cause damage and colder water can make fingers shrink, increasing the risk of losing your rings. the same goes for showering — soaps, shampoos, and other products can dull their shine over time. If you prefer to wear your jewelry daily, make sure you keep up with regular care and cleaning. whenever you remove your pieces — whether for bed, the pool, the shower, or any activity that could compromise them — store each item separately to prevent tangling and scratching. keep in mind that while solid gold is strong, it’s also soft enough to mark with wear. minor scratches are completely natural and part of your jewelry’s story.

there are several ways to store your jewelry, but not all of them are safe. some methods can actually damage your pieces. avoid rubber containers at all costs — they can speed up tarnishing and may cause dark spots to appear. also, never store your jewelry in bathrooms or any areas with moisture.

use a soft-lined jewelry box or a tarnish-resistant pouch. for longer-term storage, consider individual airtight plastic (polyethylene) bags.

here’s how to protect your pieces properly:
• store by metal type – keeping different metals apart helps prevent tarnishing caused by contact.
• clean before storing – dirt and oils can cause your jewelry to tarnish if left for too long.
• choose a dry, dark place – moisture is one of jewelry’s biggest enemies.
• keep pieces separate – to avoid scratching, make sure your jewelry isn’t touching each other.

silver is soft and sometimes your earring spike just needs a tiny adjustment. because of silver's natural flexibility, the spike might shift slightly — but the fix is super easy! just a gentle twist (up or down). please check this video.
