Jewellery Care

My jewellery is made from sterling silver. Due to a chemical reaction between the silver and various elements in the environment it can tarnish. I therefore recommend following the recommendations below:

• Avoid exposure to chemicals: Remove your jewellery before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, using cleaning products, or applying lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays. These chemicals can accelerate tarnishing.

• Clean it regularly: Gently clean your sterling silver jewellery with the polishing cloth provided to remove dirt and oils. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface.

• Prevent tarnishing: To slow down tarnishing, store your jewellery in an airtight bag or box. If you have any anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets you can add one of these as they help absorb moisture and prevent oxidation.

• Wear it often: Surprisingly, wearing your sterling silver jewellery frequently can help prevent tarnishing. The natural oils in your skin create a protective barrier that slows down the oxidation process.

It's important to note that tarnishing is a natural process and does not indicate a defect in the sterling silver. With proper care and maintenance, tarnish can be minimised or removed to restore the shine and beauty of sterling silver jewellery.
