Prevention
- You can avoid tarnish by wearing your jewelry often. The oils in your skin will “clean” the silver and keep it looking shiny.
- Remove your jewellery when washing up or showering, as soap particles may become lodged in stone settings and crevices. Soaps can also leave a film over metal and stones, creating a dull appearance.
- Take off your silver jewelry before you go swimming or sunbathing.
- Make sure your jewellery is not in regular contact with hard surfaces, which will scratch or wear down the plating or enamelling.
- When dressing, jewellery should always be put on last as make up, cosmetics and perfumes can cause damage to delicate items.
- All stone jewellery requires extra care and consideration during wearing to protect the setting as well as to safeguard the diamond or gemstone it holds.
Cleaning
- Gentle rubbing with a silver cleaning cloth will restore the original brilliance of the surface.
- You can also rub soft cotton cloth to clean the product.
- Do not use liquid cleaners for carved silver jewellery as the liquid dries into the engraving.
- Never use detergent, soap, toothpaste etc to clean your jewellery.
