If used on a daily basis, jewellery pieces can tarnish and become dull because it comes into contact your skin and natural body oil. Therefore it is best that:
1) All jewellery is stored separately.
2) Gold and silver jewellery are not stored together.
3) If it needs to be cleaned, use a gentle hand soap with warm water. Rinse and pat dry. Please make sure every piece of finding is completely dry to prevent rust.
4) Clean silver regularly with a silver cleanser liquid/cream form using a soft silver polishing cloth. Please DO NOT use solvents or harsh chemicals.
5) If the necklace has stones/gems, use a soft polishing cloth to wipe off. It is recommend to store your jewellery with gems in a dark place as some gems would bleach over time with exposure to light.
6) Silver oxidizes on contact with water, air and other chemicals. Sea water, bleach and chlorine can also cause oxidization.
7) It is natural for all metals to oxidize with exposure to air. To ensure that your jewellery stays bright for a longer time, it is advise to store it in an air-tight bag or zip lock bag. Wrap jewellery in anti-tarnish tissue paper.
8) The general rule of thumb for putting on jewellery is to always put it on absolutely last. Direct exposure to hair-styling products, and the alcohol in perfume will often damage not only the metal, but the gems as well. Never spray your perfume over your jewellery!
