Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver

Your jewellery is handcrafted from recycled sterling silver and made to be worn and enjoyed every day. Sterling silver is a precious metal that can last a lifetime with proper care.

About Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, making it durable enough for everyday wear while retaining its beautiful shine. All sterling silver will naturally develop a patina or tarnish over time, which is a normal part of the metal's character.

Caring for Your Jewellery

To keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best:

  • Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering, exercising, or using household cleaning products.
  • Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cosmetics.
  • Put your jewellery on after applying beauty products and remove it before bedtime.
  • Handle delicate chains and finer pieces with care to avoid damage.

Cleaning

  • Gently polish your jewellery with a soft silver polishing cloth to restore its shine and remove tarnish.
  • For a deeper clean, wash with warm water and a small amount of mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the surface.

Storage

  • Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Keep pieces in a jewellery box, pouch, or airtight bag when not being worn.
  • Store items separately where possible to prevent scratching and tangling.

Tarnishing

Sterling silver naturally reacts with air, moisture, and everyday substances, which can cause tarnishing. This is completely normal and not a defect. Regular wear often helps keep silver bright, and any tarnish can usually be removed easily with a polishing cloth.

Handmade with Care

Each piece is handcrafted using recycled sterling silver, meaning slight variations may occur. These subtle differences are part of the unique character and charm of handmade jewellery.

With proper care, your sterling silver jewellery will remain a cherished piece for years to come.
