Jewellery Care Instructions

Most of our items are made with sterling silver or sterling silver /gold plated metal or brass.

All Jewellery Care
In general, keep your jeweler away from lotion, perfume, hair spray etc. When you remove it, take a few seconds to wipe off residue with a soft cloth and store your jewelry in an acid-free, closed container or small plastic bags when you are not wearing it.

Silver Jewellery
If you owned silver jewelry before you will know that Tarnish is silver's enemy. Tarnish is a layer of corrosion that develops on many metals, particularly sterling silver. Sulfur and other airborne chemicals are the main cause of tarnish, and jewelry tarnishes much faster if it's left out in the open.

Another useful tip is to store your items with chalk, this can be regular blackboard chalk. It will help to absorb the airborne substances that cause tarnish. Chalk should also be changed every couple of months.
