CONCRETE JEWELRY QUESTIONS
Can I get the concrete wet in my jewelry?
Yes, it is OK to wash your hands or wear your piece in the shower! All of the items are sealed and will not be affected by water.
What substances should I avoid with concrete jewelry?
Please avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals such as detergent, perfumes, nail polish remover and other astringents. These could eventually wear down the surface or dis-color the concrete.
What if my concrete gets darker over time from oils?
We’ve discovered that a Mr Clean, Magic Eraser works wonders to clean the surface of the concrete. Just wet the Eraser and scrub the surface of the jewelry.
How will the concrete wear over time? Will it chip or break?
The concrete we use is a new generation of concrete called Ultra High Performance Concrete. It was formulated in Germany and is 20 x stronger than traditional concrete. We realize when you wear rings you will always be bumping into things, or grabbing handles, so we do take this into consideration when designing the rings. The metal edges of the rings will prevent any chipping or breaking of the concrete. As the surface of the concrete is so minimal, there is also no worry about expansion and contraction with changing temperatures.
What if I drop one of my pieces by mistake? Will the concrete break or chip?
The concrete we use is so strong that there is no chance it will chip when dropped. We have taken a metal hammer to the Orbis balls and tested this out. It takes many hits before it even starts to break.
DIAMOND JEWELRY QUESTIONS
Can I trust the tension setting?
The tension setting is one of the strongest settings out there. Only stainless steel, platinum or titanium can be used for these settings as they are the strongest metals. It is tension in the band that holds the diamond in place. Much stronger than tiny prongs holding the diamond!
What if the diamond does fall out of my setting?
This is an extremely rare situation but if it were to occur, we would replace the diamond, if lost and return it to the setting (at any time in the life of the ring) for free.
What if I like the ring, but would like a large diamond?
Most of the rings are designed with the ideal diamond size for the band. As diamonds get larger, they also get deeper, so the band would have to get thicker to accommodate this. We do not recommend going any thicker than 3mm for a band as it will be uncomfortable for daily wear. If you did wish to go larger we can make the ring thicker at the top and gradually thin it out at the sides to it is more comfortable to wear. Please email info@konzuk.com if you wish to discuss this.
Do you sell any conflict diamonds?
We do not source our diamonds from any supplier who is not in accordance with the UN mandated system. We use only Canadian diamonds for sizes .2ct or larger. All of these are registered with a CanadaMark serial number. CanadaMark is a program for identifying the origin of Canadian diamonds. The CanadaMark identification number engraved on the girdle of a Canadian diamond is the guarantee from the owners of the Ekati mine that a diamond with this mark is unequivocally Canadian in origin.
What are the 4cs?
Diamonds are graded and priced according to what is universally referred to as the ‘4cs’. They are cut, color, clarity and carat weight. Each is a description of the various characteristics of a diamond. For example, cut refers to the shape of the diamond, which affects its fire and brilliance. Color refers to the amount of color in the diamond (the less color a diamond has, the more valuable it is, all other factors being equal). Clarity describes the number of natural blemishes and inclusions a diamond has, and carat weight is simply a measurement of the diamond’s weight (not its size).

MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS
How do I keep the brushed look of my jewelry?
We use a synthetic steel wool pad (like a Scotch-Brite pad from 3M) to give the metal the brushed look. You can continue to keep this up by visiting your local hardware store and purchasing your very own steel wool pad. Just brush it along the surface in the direction the grain already goes. This should remove small surface scratches and give it the look of when you first received it. Deeper scratches and dents can be removed by your local jeweler.
How do I prevent my cable from kinking?
All of the cables we use are nylon coated stainless steel (except in the case of the gold pieces) as these give our pendants a nice minimal place to hang. They can kink if not taken care of, so please store these items separately to avoid getting caught and prevent bending.
