Sterling Silver | Care Advice

Clean & Maintain

-If your pieces are not too discoloured, you could use a quick water-free alternative, with a polishing cloth to gently rub your silver pieces.

-A great way to help your silver recover from tarnish signs due to exposure to air and moisture is with everyday dish soap.

-If they are part of a piece with fabric(silk, cotton, wool) it is better to use a cotton swab or bud to gently clean.

-If they are a single piece(connector) or part of a bead strand and the bead material can be safely soaked in water(refer to the table), simply dip the strand gently in a plastic bowl, and let it soak in luke warm soapy water for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how heavily tarnished they are. (We recommend the use of a plastic bowl so the beads would not be compromised). Then rub gently with your hands or a cloth. 

-Dry gently with a soft dry cotton cloth.

Handle & Store

-Place your gleamy Sterling Silver in an airtight container - this can be anything from a jewellery box with a tight-fitting lid or a good old zip lock bag.

-You can include an anti-tarnish strip, with a specially formulated material that absorbs moisture.

What to Avoid

-Direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hair sprays,...-Scrubbing.-Non-plastic bowls to prevent compromising the beads.

-Staining fabric in your product with the polishing-cloth.
