Jewellery Care

Silver oxidises naturally over time but can be cleaned gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Hard to reach places can be cleaned with an old, worn, soft toothbrush and soapy water and dried with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

​

Some of my pieces have been finished with applied oxidation to enhance their sculptural qualities. Care should be taken not to polish these areas too much to preserve the oxidation.

​

Suggest jewellery is removed before sleeping.

​

Remove rings before immersing jewellery in water and keep them somewhere safe.

​

Remove jewellery if you're involved in any activity which could damage it. Don’t wear jewellery in the swimming pool because of the chemicals.

​

Avoid spraying jewellery with perfume or hair products.

​

Fasten chains together when storing to avoid tangling, or fasten chains and store them by hanging separately.

​

Suggest jewellery is stored separately in a lined box or case, so that the jewellery doesn’t rub together or become tangled.
