Storage Tips

Make sure to remove your jewellery out of the presentation box as soon as you receive your item and place it in a zip lock bag for storage if you are not going to wear it immediately. Extended periods of being kept inside the presentation box will cause your item(s) to tarnish due to oxidization.

Corrosion of jewellery occurs under moist or wet conditions, especially when also exposed to warmth and air. Perspiration from jewellery wear is a common cause of corrosion. Jewellery should never be worn in the bath, while swimming, in the sauna or when participating in sports.

It is recommended that either put in a small zip lock bag inside the box provided or that silica gel packets or anti-tarnish strips are added to the box, as they will absorb the moisture, Sulphur etc. from the air and slow down the tarnishing process.

Cleaning Tips

A safe way to clean most jewellery is to pour a small amount of a mild liquid soap in lukewarm water and use a small, soft brush. Toothbrushes are ideal for cleaning jewellery which can otherwise be difficult to clean. If the jewellery is very dirty, leave it to soak for about 10 minutes. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a soft, clean cloth.

The oxidized finish will disappear with time and this is not considered a defect, but a natural result of wear and tear. The oxidized finish can be reapplied by a silversmith.
