Earrings can get lost from time to time, and we know how annoying that can be! You can purchase individual earrings by emailing hello@bohrunga or if you pop by our Ponsonby Bohtique. Please note some earrings must be a mirrored pair and metal colour can change
over time, so this service is not always available.

All of our sterling silver jewellery is rhodium plated. Rhodium is one of the rarest and most expensive precious metals. When sterling silver jewellery is rhodium plated it helps to prevent tarnishing, gives the jewellery a high shine finish and makes it more resistant to scratching. Sterling silver is a delicate metal and it will age and tarnish over time, but plating with rhodium gives your piece a much longer life

Our Pounamu is found exclusively in Te Waipounamu (the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand). Locations include: various rivers in Arahura,
Hokitika and Greymouth. The light very clean green is Inanga, the
stronger green with the black inclusions is Kakakawa. 

Our gold plated jewellery is made in sterling silver then plated with a 2 micron layer of gold. Gold plating will wear off over time and exposure to skin, hair and cleaning products as well as daily wear, will speed up this process. To get the most from your gold plated jewellery we suggest wearing it ‘sometimes’ rather than ‘always’, but if your favourite piece requires replating, we can do this for a fee. 

We do not recommend the use of silver dips on our jewellery as this
may remove the rhodium. Gold liquid dips are not recommended for our gold plated jewellery either. When the plating becomes discoloured, clean in warm water with a delicate soap free substance for no longer than 10 minutes using your fingers or a soft toothbrush to clean into grooves. Rinse the piece in water and gently pat dry with a soft cloth. Finish by polishing the jewellery with a clean polishing cloth. Formulated liquid dips for solid gold jewellery are available and are highly effective in removing tarnish and surface dirt, bringing back shine and luster. For best results directions should always be followed carefully and care taken.
