Care and Cleaning

 

Silver Care

Most silver that is used in jewellery is sterling silver which contains 92.5% pure silver and the rest is made up of other metals, such as copper, to make the silver more durable and practical for use as jewellery.

 

Though this alloying makes sterling silver suitable for wear you must still take care with your silver jewellery. Silver is relatively soft and may scratch and bend easily so care should always be taken when wearing, putting on or taking off your jewellery.

 

If silver is left unworn it will tarnish, this is an oxidisation of the metal caused by the silver and other base metals in the alloy reacting with sulfur-containing gases in the air. The result is a greyish black coating of copper sulphide that will appears on the surface of your jewellery. This can easily be removed using an impregnated jewellery cloth or as silver dip solution, both of which can be purchased from us.

To get the best results from your silver jewellery we recommend a professional clean and polish. Silver (when polished) is the most reflective precious metal so it is definitely worth getting is buffed and polished when it started looking a bit dull.
