Sterling Silver: Clean & Care Guide

The essentials, now in silver. This collection revisits some of our most loved designs, reimagined in cool-toned sterling silver. Understated yet sculptural, silver offers a fresh perspective to our silhouettes while retaining the distinctive forms and thoughtful details that define our jewellery. Its beauty evolves with time, gathering a gentle lustre and lived-in character. Here, we share how to care for your silver so it continues to shine for years to come.

Like all precious metals, sterling silver benefits from a little care to keep it at its best. We use 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for strength. Over time, it will naturally oxidise when exposed to air and chemicals. This is not a flaw, but an intrinsic characteristic of silver. In fact, wearing your pieces often helps slow this process, with your skin’s natural oils acting as a gentle protector.

DAILY CARE

We encourage regular wear, but with mindful habits:

Remove your silver jewellery before swimming, bathing, or applying perfumes and lotions.
Store each piece separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratches.
Keep away from chlorine, saltwater, and harsh household chemicals.
Avoid humid places like bathrooms, and remove your jewellery before sleeping.

CLEANING YOUR SILVER

For light tarnish: Use a soft silver polishing cloth to restore shine.

For heavier tarnish: Soak briefly in a mild dishwashing liquid and warm water, gently clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry.

We recommend avoiding silver dip cleaners. While they work quickly, they are chemically aggressive and can damage silver over time, eroding fine details and weakening solder joints. They are especially harmful to natural or porous gemstones such as turquoise, opal, or pearls, causing discolouration or structural damage.
