Silver Jewellery
Although it's convenient & looks attractive to display your jewellery on those lovely jewellery stands it's not actually helping you to keep it looking shiny & new. As time goes on sterling silver reacts with gases in the air & tarnishes it.
- It is therefore best to store your silver jewellery in bags which slows down the tarnishing process & keeps the jewellery from rubbing against harder jewellery which may scratch it. We supply our smaller pieces in plastic bags inside the organza bags for you to carry on using.
- Sterling silver jewellery that is worn continually often develops a lovely patina, a kind of glow combined with darkened areas. If you like the look, leave it alone.
- If you prefer a bright and shiny look for your sterling silver, use a polish cloth to restore the jewellery to its original appearance.
Pearls, unlike other gems and precious stones, are softer. Therefore you need to take extra care of them. However, keeping a few simple things in mind can keep your pearls looking beautiful for a long, long time.
· Perfume make-up and perspiration can be harmful to your pearls. Therefore, wear your pearls after you have done your make-up. Also, wipe your pearls with a soft cloth after wearing them. Occasionally, you can also use a special pearl cleansing liquid to clean them.
· Because pearls are softer than other gems, they can be damaged by abrasive substances. Keep them separately from your other jewellery, preferably in a velvet lined jewel box or silk bag.
Wear your pearls often. Contact with your skin will naturally rehydrate the pearls and keep them looking beautiful for longer!
Most importantly though … enjoy !
