Jewellery Care
As with all jewellery that has been made from precious metals, Aurelium jewellery is delicate and should be handled with care. Below are some tips for looking after your handcrafted sterling silver and gold-plated jewellery so that it lasts a lifetime.
- Apply moisturiser, makeup, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on jewellery
- Avoid wearing your jewellery in swimming pools and spas with chlorine
- Avoid sleeping in your jewellery
- After wearing your jewellery, rub it with a soft cloth (e.g. microfibre) before storing it away
- Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to sulphur and acids in the environment. To slow down tarnish, store your jewellery in a small ziplock bag with an anti-tarnish tab (complimentary with your jewellery order). This will also help to prevent your jewellery from rubbing against other surfaces and getting scratched
- To remove tarnish from your sterling silver jewellery, use a polishing cloth specifically designed for use with silver. These can be purchased from most jewellery stores. Do not polish oxidised or gold-plated silver with a silver polishing cloth
