HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR STERLING SILVER AND COPPER JEWELRY

STERLING SILVER is an alloy made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually Copper. It is strong and beautiful and when polished it has a lustrous sheen.

A lovely patina, which has a soft glow with darkened areas,will develop on Sterling Silver jewelry that is worn often. If you prefer a shiny look, use a mild-low abrasive cleaner or polishing cloth.

For a quick cleaning, I dilute a silver cleaning dip with water (1 to 1), dip the piece, wash with a mild soap and water then polish. DO NOT let your jewelry sit in the solution...just touch and wash! NEVER use a dip solution on antiqued or blackened designs as this will take all the black off.

NEVER use toothpaste to clean your sterling silver jewelry. This will result in fine scratches that can dull the surface.

Store your Sterling Silver jewelry in anti-tarnish cloth bags or in plastic bags. This will also protect your jewelry from scratches.

COPPER naturally tends to tarnish easily, it will acquire an warm antiqued look if you don't clean it regularly.

Handle and care for Copper Jewelry the same as Sterling Silver. To keep it looking bright, use a gentle copper cleaner and polishing cloth to remove tarnish.
