Jewelry should be the last item you put on when you dress and the first thing to take off when your day is completed. Your precious pieces will loose their luster through oil from the hands and environmental pollution so care is recommended to ensure your continued enjoyment of your jewelry. I have included a few ideas that will assist you in keeping your silver and gold bright and looking like new year after year.
Over time your sterling silver will grey slightly and as this can add a wanted patina to a piece the antique look is not for everyone. Wipe your pieces with a jewelry cloth every few weeks to keep them sparkling and bright and in “like new” condition.
Silver is best kept in a sealed pouch or wrapped in a silver cloth. You can use a plastic bag for ease of seeing the contents.
If oxidation does occur not to worry, a quick wipe with a polishing cloth should remove all discolouration quickly.
Pearls are very porous and can be damaged by strong chemicals very easily. Damage will manifest itself by a lack of luster on the pearl. Do not put perfume on your skin where pearls will be in contact or expose them to clorine through showering or swimming pools. As a rule you should not wear your jewelry in swimming pools as the strong chemicals can damage semi precious stones as well as some metals.
Avoid storing your jewelry in direct sunlight as extensive exposure can damage the colouration of the stones and pearls.
