JEWELLERY CARE TIPS

At Black Isle Silver, we believe that every piece of silver jewellery deserves to shine brilliantly and stand the test of time. That's why we're dedicated to not only crafting exceptional silver jewellery but also providing you with the knowledge and guidance to care for your precious pieces. With our expert tips, you can preserve the beauty and lustre of your silver treasures for years to come.

​

1. Store It with Care: When not wearing your silver jewellery, ensure proper storage to prevent tarnish and scratches. Store each piece individually in a soft cloth pouch or a tarnish-resistant jewellery box to protect it from exposure to air and moisture.

2. Avoid Direct Contact with Chemicals: Silver is a delicate metal, so it's important to keep it away from chemicals that can cause damage. Avoid contact with household cleaning agents, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays. These substances can accelerate tarnishing and dull the shine of your jewellery.

3. Put It On Last and Take It Off First: To avoid subjecting your silver jewellery to unnecessary exposure, make it a habit to put it on last after applying makeup, perfume, and other beauty products. Similarly, take off your jewellery first before starting your skincare routine or engaging in activities that might expose it to harsh conditions.

4. Regular Cleaning is Key: Prevent tarnish buildup and maintain the radiance of your silver by regularly cleaning it. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your jewellery, removing any dirt or oils. For intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas, you can use a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

5. Seek Professional Care: For heavily tarnished or intricate silver jewellery pieces, it's advisable to seek professional care. Professional jewellers have the expertise and specialized tools to restore the beauty of your treasures while ensuring their structural integrity.

6. Stay Mindful during Physical Activities: When engaging in physical activities or sports, be mindful of your silver jewellery. Remove it before exercising, swimming, or participating in activities that may expose it to excessive sweat, moisture, or impact. This will minimize the risk of scratches, damage, or loss.

7. Embrace Preventive Measures: Consider using anti-tarnish strips or pouches when storing your silver jewellery. These specially designed products help absorb moisture and prevent tarnishing. Additionally, wearing your silver regularly can prevent tarnish buildup as the natural oils of your skin act as a protective barrier.

At Black Isle Silver, we're passionate about creating timeless and exquisite silver jewellery. By following these care tips, you can ensure that your treasures retain their beauty and enchantment for generations to come.
