Ā
Silver jewellery naturally develops a patina over time, adding character and depth to each piece.Ā However, with proper care, you can maintain its original lustre for years to come.Ā Follow these guidelines to keep your silver looking its best.
1. Daily Wear & Storage
- Store each piece individually in the anti-tarnish pouches provided to minimise exposure to air and moisture.
- Keep jewellery in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising to prevent exposure to water and sweat.
- Apply perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics before putting on your jewellery to reduce contact with chemicals.
2. Cleaning Guidelines
-
Regular Maintenance: To preserve shine and prevent tarnish, gently polish your jewellery with a soft cloth every so often to remove surface oils.
-
For Light Tarnish: Wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
-
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive materials, chemical cleaners, or bleach, as they can damage the silver.
3. Things to Avoid
To prevent unnecessary tarnishing or damage, keep your silver jewellery away from:
- Chlorinated water and hot springs.
- Chemical cleaners and bleach.
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Rubber or latex materials.
- Contact with other metals during storage.
4. Travel Tips
- Store your jewellery in the pouch provided while travelling to prevent scratches and tangling.
- Remove pieces before entering hot tubs, pools, or natural water bodies.
