Each piece is handmade, and a little care will keep it looking its best for years.
Sterling silver
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air and moisture. Wearing it often actually helps slow this down.
- Polish gently with a soft silver polishing cloth.
- For a deeper clean, wash in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Matte or brushed finishes: avoid polishing cloths, as they can make the surface shiny. Just wash and dry.
Pieces with gemstones
Clean around stones with a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, which can loosen settings or damage some stones.
Everyday wear
- Put your jewellery on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray.
- Take it off before swimming, showering, exercising or cleaning.
- Avoid contact with chlorine, salt water and household chemicals.
Storage
- Store each piece separately in its pouch or a lined box so pieces don't scratch each other.
- Keep silver in a cool, dry place. An airtight bag or anti-tarnish strip helps.
Materials
Materials for each piece are listed on its product page.
- Oxidised finishes are darkened on purpose to bring out detail. Don't use silver dip or polishing cloths on them, as these will remove the dark finish.
- Gold- or white-gold-plated pieces have a thin layer of gold over silver. Clean them with a soft dry cloth only, and keep them away from water and chemicals so the plating lasts longer.
- Enamel details can chip if knocked, so take extra care with these pieces.
