Care

Caring for Your Fine Silver Jewelry

Your piece was made by hand and is meant to be worn and enjoyed. With a little care, your fine silver jewelry can remain beautiful for years to come.

Fine silver naturally develops a patina over time. This is a normal characteristic of silver and can add warmth and character to the piece. When you prefer a brighter finish, gently polish the surface with a soft jewelry polishing cloth.

To keep your jewelry looking its best

  • —Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or using hot tubs.
  • —Avoid prolonged contact with perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household chemicals.
  • —Store pieces in a clean, dry place when you're not wearing them.
  • —Keep individual pieces separated to reduce scratching.
  • —Use a soft polishing cloth rather than abrasive cleaners.

With proper care, your jewelry can be enjoyed today and treasured for years to come.

Stones, patinas and other materials

Pieces with stones, applied patinas or special finishes may benefit from a little extra attention — wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and keep polishing to the silver surfaces. Specific care notes are included with individual pieces where appropriate.
