CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SILVER JEWELLERY 

Sterling silver naturally dulls over time but can easily be shined back to it’s original lustre by using a silver polishing cloth. You will find these at your local supermarket or jeweller’s. To limit oxidation, keep lotions, perfumes and other chemicals away from your piece.

We recommend that customers remove jewellery before going to bed or participating in physical activity. Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewellery. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, salt water.
