JEWELRY CARE

These pieces are made from high quality 925 sterling silver. They are made to use every day and to last more than a lifetime. Some wear and tear will likely occur with use. It is natural for silver to acquire a patina over time and to accumulate a history of marks and scratches building character that will tell a story unique to you.

Silver will maintain a polished look if it is worn and handled every day, buffed by your skin and by the fabrics and materials that you surround yourself with. If you will be storing jewelry for an extended period of time it is recommended to keep in an air tight container to minimize oxidation. If you would like to add a little lustre a silver polishing cloth or other silver polishing compounds are recommended.
