- Keep them clean! Lotions, powders, soaps, and natural skin
oils can build up on jewelry, cutting down on the brilliance of the gems.
- Apply cosmetics, hair sprays and perfume before putting
on any Stone Studded Silver jewelry.
- Clean your sterling silver jewelry with mild soap and water,
allowing the water to bead up, and then patting dry with a soft cloth. For
more stubborn dirt, use a jewelry cleaner designed for silver use.
- Store silver in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tarnish-preventive
bag or wrapped in a soft piece of felt or cloth. Store pieces individually
so that they don't knock together and scratch.
- Do not rub silver with anything other than a polishing
cloth or a fine piece of felt. Tissue paper or paper towels can cause scratches
because of the fibers in these products.
- Make sure your silver is not exposed to air and light during
storage: this can cause silver to tarnish. And don't wear sterling silver
in chlorinated water or when working with household chemicals.
Although, your jewelry is made from purest quality silver, durable substances
& gemstones, it does need some some care. If you follow the above mentioned
tips, we assure your jewelry will last for generations still looking like
the day you bought them.
With proper care, your fine quality silver will last a lifetime. To minimize
scratches and other damage, store your silver jewellery either in a cloth
pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewellery box. Avoid exposing your
silver to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia, or when
swimming in chlorinated water, as these chemicals can damage silver.
Clean Your Silver Regularly
Care should also be taken to prevent silver tarnish build-up, a dulling that
naturally occurs when silver reacts with sulphur or hydrogen sulphide in the
ambient air. To clean your silver, use polishes formulated specifically to
remove tarnish. You can find fine silver polishes, solutions, or cloths appropriate
to remove tarnish at most hardware stores or specialty craft stores. Tarnish
is most easily removed when it first becomes visible.
Although wearing your silver jewellery often is the best way to prevent tarnish
from building up, regular cleanings of all your silver items will prevent
tarnish and keep your silver bright and sparkling.
Look for the fineness mark and the maker's mark on the underside of the silver
item you are considering to ensure the quality.
