Anti-Tarnish & Cleaning

Polish Cloths:

• Silver and gold jewellery and findings can be cleaned using specialized jewellery polishing cloths. These cloths are made with microfiber or other soft materials embedded with polishing compounds.
• Gently rub the surface of the jewellery using the polishing cloth in a back-and-forth motion. This helps to remove dirt, tarnish, and restore the shine.
• Pay attention to intricate or hard-to-reach areas by using the edges or corners of the cloth.
• Avoid excessive pressure, as it may cause scratches on delicate surfaces.
• Keep in mind that different cloths may have varying instructions, so follow the specific guidelines provided for the specific cloth.

Liquid Jewelry Cleaners:

• There are various liquid jewellery cleaners available on the market that are specifically formulated for cleaning silver and gold. These cleaners usually come with detailed instructions, so be sure to read and follow them carefully.
• Most liquid cleaners require immersing the jewellery in the solution for a specified period, or spraying on a compound. Ensure that the solution is appropriate for the type of metal you are cleaning.
• After the recommended time, remove the jewellery from the solution and rinse it thoroughly with water.
• Gently pat dry the jewellery using a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Ensure that the jewellery is completely dry before storing or wearing it again.

It’s important to exercise caution when using any cleaning products on jewellery. Some jewellery, such as pieces with gemstones, pearls, or delicate finishes, may require specialised care and should not be cleaned with certain chemicals or methods. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions or consult a professional jeweller if you are uncertain about cleaning specific pieces.

If your jewellery has intricate or hard-to-reach areas, consider using a soft-bristle toothbrush or a cotton swab dipped in the cleaning solution to gently remove dirt and polish those areas.

Regular maintenance and gentle cleaning can help preserve the beauty and shine of your silver and gold jewellery.
