For some people the ink will last a life time and for others it might fade and unfortunately for some it can totally wear off. The rate at which it wears off will vary person to person and it depends on factors such as exposure to lotions and potions (sun cream, perfume, moisturiser) being worn in the shower / bath / swimming pool / sea. Being worn in bed is also a contributing factor. But another less well know factor can actually be down to the acidity in your skin.
At present there is no guaranteed permanent black ink available for hand stamped jewellery. But for most it should last many years.
So firstly please know that it is totally normal to experience some fading.
I will gladly re-ink any item of jewellery for you free of charge. I will apply a few layers to hopefully combat this happening again.
Please just contact me to inform me you have read this and wish to return your item of jewellery to be re-inked. You will need to cover the cost of postage back to me as the fading isn’t a fault, its just something that un-avoidable. But I will cover the postage cost back to you. I recommend you use a signed for service with royal mail.
A final thing for your consideration, if you experience a little fading and actually you feel you might prefer the item to have no ink then again please return the item to be and I will do my best to remove what ink there is left for you.
