Jewellery Care

Silver is not indestructible. It can and will snap if bent or twisted continuously. So please avoid wearing your silver jewellery during labour intensive activities - sport, gardening, housework, working with chemicals, lifting etc. You risk damaging your jewellery and yourself. 

Its no secret that I love an oxidised finish to my silver pieces - and by wearing your silver jewellery it will continue to blacken over time, making it even more unique. 

Want to bring back a little bit of that silver shine?

Making a paste from bicarb and water and gently buffing the surface of your jewellery with a soft cloth is my preferred cleaning method. This will help clean and polish the silver, making it shiny again, whilst leaving the oxidisation in all the detailed sections. You can continue this process as much times as you like - to achieve your desired look.

Gently rubbing the surface with a silver polish or polishing cloth is fine to give them a bit of a clean up and bring back some extra shine but please don't use harsh chemicals or scrub with abrasive cloths or brushes. Any scrubbing, even with a polishing cloth or cream, will remove the oxidisation from the small detailed section and will change the look of the piece. 

Oxidisation will build up again with general wear, but if you accidentally remove too much and want me to blacken it quickly just get in contact.
