Caring for your Jewellery
Sterling silver can tarnish over time. Follow these steps to keep your jewellery looking great.
Take your jewellery off before sleeping, bathing, showering or swimming.
Avoid contact with hand sanitizer, perfumes, body lotions and makeup. It’s advisable to put your jewellery on last when getting ready.
Try to avoid wearing your jewellery when completing tasks where you may knock, scratch or get the piece dirty.
Avoid exposing your jewellery to harsh cleaning products.
Clean your jewellery with the cleaning cloth provided. Sterling Silver and most gemstones can be cleaned with warm soapy water and dried with a soft lint free cloth.
Store your jewellery with the anti-tarnish strip provided.
Make sure chains are fastened before storing to avoid tangling.
Don’t leave your jewellery in a damp environment or exposed to sunlight.
Take care when placing your jewellery down on hard surfaces, particularly gemstone jewellery to avoid any damage.
Toggle Clasp Pieces
Some of my necklaces and bracelets feature a toggle clasp fastening. They’re a beautiful addition to a piece of jewellery but can sometimes come undone especially if they rub against items of clothing.
When out and about, its advisable to double loop your toggle bar through the loop. Another way of securing your piece if you wear other bracelets or necklaces with it, is to fasten the clasp of other pieces on for extra security.
If you have any concerns please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to fit a small security chain to your piece for no additional cost.
