Jewellery care

Sterling silver, like other precious metals, can oxidise with time. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to slow down this process.

 

Step 1: 

Store your silver jewellery in a cool and dry place. Humidity can be enemy #1 for silver, and can lead to unwanted tarnishing. 

Step 2: 

Store your silver in a tarnish-preventative bag, wrap it in a soft piece of felt or in a cloth made of 100% cotton. 

Step 3:

Avoid cosmetic scratching and other damage by storing your pieces individually, rather than together. For instance, a set of earrings should be stored in two seperate bags so they do not knock together. 

Step 4:

Clean your silver jewellery with a soft 100% cotton cloth. Avoid paper, polyester or other coarse fabrics, as they can cause surface scratching. For any stubborn debris/dirt that you cannot remove with your cotton cloth, use jewellery cleaner that is appropriate for sterling silver. 

Step 5:  

Avoid wearing sterling silver in chlorinated water, or when working with household chemicals

Step 6:
