Fine silver is a beautiful, relatively pure metal that will naturally change over time with wear. With a little care, your piece can be enjoyed for years to come.
To keep your jewelry looking its best:
-
Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
-
Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, cleaning products, and other chemicals.
-
Store your jewelry in a dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or jewelry box, when you are not wearing it.
-
Fine silver is softer than sterling silver, so avoid bending, dropping, or placing heavy objects on your jewelry.
-
To clean your piece, gently polish the silver with a soft, non-abrasive jewelry cloth. Avoid harsh polishing compounds or abrasive materials, which can scratch the surface or alter intentional finishes.
-
If your piece includes glass, enamel, stones, or other materials, take extra care when cleaning and avoid soaking the jewelry unless specifically instructed.
A note on patina:
Silver naturally develops a patina over time as it reacts with the environment and the oils on your skin. This is a normal part of the life of the metal and can add character to your piece. If you prefer a brighter finish, gently polish the silver with a soft jewelry cloth.
Each piece is handmade, and small variations and changes that develop through wear are part of its individual history.
