Hey! I’m Lizzi, the owner of Violet Ivy Jewellery.
Named after my two beautiful Daughters, Ivy & Violet.
Violet Ivy was founded slowly in 2022 following a Cancer diagnosis.
When I was pregnant with my youngest child, Violet. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer in 2019. I was then later diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer in 2021.
Secondary Breast Cancer, also known as metastatic breast cancer is incurable and I live with this disease in most of bones. Unfortunately due to the pain and mobility issues, this saw me to be medically retired from my dream job.
With a family to support alongside my Husband, I had to continue working. It had to fit around my cancer treatment and family life.
With a life limiting disease I also needed to enjoy what I was doing….
AND I LOVE JEWELLERY!
I, along with many of you! We forever lust after quality jewellery that isn’t going to tarnish! Jewellery that was comfortable to wear everyday and importantly, comfy to sleep in!
I didn't want to take it off to shower, or when I was in a swimming pool with the children!
I wanted it to be ‘life’ proof or as I would say ‘Lizzi’ Proof!
Lizzi’s Story
That’s when Violet Ivy Jewellery was born. I want to bring you quality jewellery that can be worn every day, it is essential to choose pieces that not only complement your style but also stand the test of time. Selecting jewellery that won’t tarnish is key, ensuring your accessories remain as beautiful as the day you first wore them.
For those who prefer sterling silver, proper care is vital to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing. Here are some tips to help you keep your sterling silver pieces looking gorgeous:
Store Properly: Always store your jewellery in a cool, dry place. Use a soft pouch or a dedicated jewellery box lined with fabric to prevent scratches and tarnish.
Avoid Moisture: Take off your jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising. Exposure to moisture can accelerate tarnishing.
Clean Regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your silver jewellery after each wear. This will remove any oils, dirt, or moisture and keep it looking radiant.
Polish with Care: If your jewellery starts to tarnish, you can use a silver polish cloth specifically designed for this purpose. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Keep Away from Chemicals: Be cautious of exposing your jewellery to perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners, as chemicals can lead to tarnishing.
By following these simple care tips, your sterling silver jewellery can maintain its sparkle and elegance, making it a delightful addition to your everyday wear.
