Caring for your Sterling Silver Jewellery
Sterling silver is a beautiful precious metal that will last for generations with proper care. Sterling silver tarnishes when exposed to air, so it is a good idea to keep your jewellery in its box when not being worn, this will help to slow the tarnishing process.
If your jewellery does tarnish the easiest way to clean it is with a silver polishing cloth, these are available to buy from this site and consist of a soft cloth that has been impregnated with a gentle cleaning agent, simply rub over your jewellery to restore the shine. It is a good idea to put a piece of this cloth in the box with your jewellery if it is being stored for a long time before your wedding day.
If your jewellery has been neglected and needs a more thorough clean then a liquid cleaner such as Jewel Sparkle by Town Talk will clean the silver without harming the crystals or pearls.
If possible put on your jewellery after spraying hairspray or perfume, this prevents the mist settling on the crystals and dulling their shine.
Always remove your jewellery before using any product that contains bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or nail polish removers that contain acetone.
