Silver Plated & Sterling Silver Jewellery Care

Caring for Your Handmade Jewellery

Our handmade pieces are crafted with care and deserve proper attention to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.

General Care Tips

• Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing, or exercising
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals
• Put your jewellery on last when getting ready and take it off first

Cleaning Your Jewellery

To clean your pieces:

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewellery
• For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a mild soap
• Gently pat dry with a soft cloth
• Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials

Sterling Silver Jewellery Care

Sterling silver requires special attention to maintain its beautiful lustre:

Preventing Tarnish

• Store sterling silver in anti-tarnish bags or cloth pouches
• Keep away from moisture and humidity
• Remove before showering, swimming, or using household cleaners
• Avoid contact with rubber, latex, and sulfur-containing materials

Cleaning Sterling Silver

• Use a specialized silver polishing cloth for light tarnish
• For heavier tarnish, use a gentle silver cleaning solution
• Wash with warm water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly
• Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots
• Polish gently in straight lines, not circular motions

What to Avoid

• Never use toothpaste or baking soda - they're too abrasive
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless specifically recommended
• Don't expose to chlorine, bleach, or harsh chemicals

Storage

Store each piece separately to prevent scratching and tangling. Use the original packaging or a soft pouch when possible.
