General care
Avoid contact with chemicals: Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, or using household cleaning products. Chemicals, including chlorine and detergents, can tarnish and damage sterling silver.
Keep away from moisture: Moisture can accelerate tarnishing. Store your jewellery in a dry place and avoid wearing it in humid conditions.
Proper storage: When not in use, store your jewellery in a cool, dry place. Use a soft cloth pouch or a jewellery box with compartments to prevent scratches and tangling.
Cleaning your Jewellery
Sterling silver: Over time, sterling silver may develop a natural patina. To clean, use a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaner. Gently rub the piece to remove the tarnish. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Gemstones and pearls: Clean pieces with gemstones or pearls with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage delicate stones.
Wax carvings and detailed pieces: Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to remove dirt and dust from crevices for intricate designs gently. Be careful not to apply too much pressure.
