Now that you have made your choice of a hand crafted jewellery item from Art925 Edelsmederij, I would like to thank you for your support and offer some simple words of advice and care suggestions.
Tarnish
Sterling Silver by its very nature will tarnish with time, especially when exposed to pollutants or humidity in the air. An acid skin can also have a similar effect on silver. Silver with a matt effect will also tarnish more readily than polished silver. Often this will enhance the aesthetics of your jewellery. Follow my organic cleaning tips. When not wearing your jewellery follow my tips on storage.
Simple Cleaning
A simple solution of warm light soapy water with an old soft toothbrush will normally be enough to ensure your Art925 Edelsmederij jewellery stays in top condition. Rinse well with clean water and always dry thoroughly
, but never use a tissue, this will scratch your jewellery. A quick blast with your hair dryer will ensure that water from all nooks & crannies is removed.
Safe Storage
I want you to love your Art925 jewellery forever and pass on to your loved ones. So I encourage you to store each item as I was taught. Place each item individually in a zip-loc plastic bag, force all of the air out of the bag and seal it closed. It isn't glamorous I know but it will prevent scratches and tarnish.
