Jewelry Care & Cleaning

Care and Cleaning of Sterling Silver Jewelry
All Sterling Silver will tarnish, eventually.  This happens because the Sterling Silver Alloy reacts with sulfides that are in the air.  The higher the humidity and pollution level in the air, the faster it will tarnish.  It helps to prevent tarnishing by wearing the jewelry.  Touching the jewelry and having it touch your skin tends to keep it polished. 

Our jewelry is best cleaned with a soft non-abrasive polishing cloth, such as the moonshine polishing cloth sold on our website.  This cloth will bring back the shine to your Sterling Silver and other metal pieces.  

Never use over the counter cleaners or chemical dips.  These dips will remove the antiqued finish and tends to turn the metal faster after its use.

If you have any questions about the care or cleaning of a particular piece, please feel
free to use our comments page to send your questions and we will be happy to help you.
