JEWELLERY CARE

Give your jewellery some tender loving care!

• Avoid spraying perfumes on them.
• Wipe them gently with a soft cloth after wearing, before storage.
• Store silver jewellery in a air tight container or ziplock bag when not in use, to avoid tarnishing of bright sterling silvers.  Preferably place some drying agent inside to keep away moisture.

To restore tarnished sterling silver jewellery to its original bright shine, use a silver polishing cloth to clean it. Or you can also use a simple home made recipe to clean your silver especially the hard-to-reach areas in a few minutes!

Items you need:
Soap solution (a blob of hand soap with water) *not pictured
1 heap tablespoon of table salt
1 mug of hot water
A bowl lined with aluminium foil OR an aluminium foil baking tray
A pair of chopsticks or any stick
Your silver jewellery

1. Wash your jewellery in some soap solution and set aside.
2. Make a concentrated salt solution with regular table salt and hot water.
3. Line some aluminium foil in a bowl and place your jewellery on top of the foil. (or recycle a disposable aluminium foil baking tray.)
4. Pour the hot solution over the jewellery and foil.
5. Let it stand and agitate it a bit with the chopsticks.
6. Silver jewellery will be clean and shiny in a few minutes!
7. Remove from solution using the chopsticks, rinse with tap water and leave to dry completely.
8. For stubborn stains, put it back into the salt water bath again and repeat pt 5 to 7.

* Caution: As this produces a sulphur (rotten egg) smell, do it in a well ventilated room.
* Do not do this on oxidized silver jewellery unless you want to remove all the oxidation (blackened parts which are part of the design)!
