Care Instructions

Sterling Silver jewellery can stay beautiful for many years, if treated with care. There are a few simple care instructions which can increase the longevity of your piece. 

CARE TIPS

• Take it off when sleeping.
• Avoid getting it wet
• Take off when showering & swimming.
• Take it off while exercising / doing intense sports.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the surface.
• Store your jewellery in a safe place like a jewellery box.
• Be gentle! Silver is strong, but malleable, which means it can bend or dent with high impacts.
• To clean, use a soft cloth or gentle soap e.g natural dishwashing detergent.
• Dry well after cleaning with a soft cloth.

TARNISHING

Due to the alloy metals in Sterling Silver, it is prone to tarnishing. This is a natural oxidation process, whereby the surface turns slightly black. 

Sterling Silver jewellery can tarnish if it is left, unworn for too long. Some skin types are also more acidic than others, which can also cause jewellery to tarnish. Wet or damp environments can accelerate the oxidation process.

Silver tarnish can be cleaned with a silver cleaning cloth, or in some hot water with dishwashing soap for a few minutes. Be sure to dry off your piece well with a soft, non -abrasive cloth.
