Behind The Scenes

Jewellery care guide:

Jewellery is not indestructable and over time can tarnish and sometimes can break under the strain of life no matter how well it is made. We are able to deal with all repairs of our own designs, re-polish pieces, and re-oxidise or gold plate any finishes that have worn off over time.

To maintain your jewellery we do not suggest wearing your jewellery when asleep as it can sometimes lead to stretched chains and accidental damages.

Also avoid purfumes and body creams coming into contact with your jewellery as some brands contain chemicals which can affect the silver and cause the surface to tarnish or become greasy and dirty.

To clean your jewellery if tarnished, you can either send your jewellery back to us to restore. Or you can purchase Goddard's Silver dip which releases the sulphurs which build up on the surface of the silver causing the tarnishing, and will restore it back to its bright silver colour. It is VERY important you follow the instructions on the jar, only dipping the jewellery into the jar and then make sure you rinse your jewellery thoroughly after. Do not dip oxidised, bronze or gold plated pieces. Goddards silver dip is available from many outlets including Robert Dyas and Sainsburys, and is under £5.

You can also purchase a Silver Polishing cloth and regularly polish your pieces to keep them bright and tarnish free. The polishing cloth helps protect your jewellery from tarnish.

If you are unsure and require more advice, please contact us.
