Exposure to some everyday elements such as direct sunlight, perfumes, perspiration and chemicals naturally causes silver to tarnish over time.

Here are a few tips to help you look after your jewellery and keep it shining!

1. House your jewels in a jewellery box or alternative dark storage such as a pouch.
Air and light will cause silver to tarnish over time.

2. Avoid your jewellery rubbing against other jewellery as this can cause surface scratches.

3. Avoid over use of a silver dip as it is corrosive.
Never expose pearls or gemstones to a silver dip.

4. Use only the softest fabric, ideally a silver cloth, to buff your silver.
Even a tissue can cause scratching if used too vigorously.
