Caring for your Jewellery made with Swarovski Crystals

 Eloquent Sterling Silver Set with Swarovski Crystals

1. Inspect you crystal jewellery to ensure that the crystal beads are not loose.
2. If it is, take it to your jeweller to get it restrung [there should be a knot between each crystal, to prevent them from rubbing against each other and becoming scratched.
3. Please note that you should try to get your crystal jewellery restrung at least once a year.
4. You can clean your crystal jewellery with lukewarm water and a clean, soft cotton cloth.
5. If your jewellery needs extra cleaning, wipe with a soft, cotton cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water containing gentle detergent.
6. You can either air dry your crystal jewellery overnight by laying on cotton cloth or wipe it with a dry, soft cotton cloth.
7. Please remember to put your crystal jewellery on, after the application of hairspray, perfume, body lotion or make up. This will prevent your crystals from losing their shine and help them to keep cleaner for longer!
8. To prevent further abrasion, remember to store your crystal jewellery in a padded jewellery box [e.g.one which contains sufficient foam inside] and where they are kept separated from other jewellery. Also, ensure there is enough space in the jewellery box to comfortably lay the jewellery.

Caring for your jewellery containing sterling silver

Sterling Silver Earrings with White Swarovski Crystals

BRIEF HISTORY

Sterling silver contains copper, which adds hardness to silver. It also creates a tendency for silver jewellry to tarnish. Hence, avoid exposing sterling silver to harsh chemicals such as chlorine, cosmetics, perfume or even hairspray.

STORING

You can store your sterling silver jewelry in tarnish prevention bags or cloths. It is also important to separate your jewellry when storing it so that it does not rub against harder jewellry that could damage it. Use appropriate sized zip lock bags to keep your jewellery sealed and dry if you will not be using then for a suatainable period of time.

CLEANING

You can use Silver Cleaning Solutions which you can buy from your local store e.g. Argos to clean items which entirely contain sterling silver. However, for items like the stunning pair of earrings displayed above which is made of both sterling silver and genuine Swarovski Crystallised Elemets, it would be wise to use a Silver Jewellery Polishing Cloth instead. This way you can ensure that only the areas containing the Sterling Silver gets cleaned, avoiding spillage onto the other areas which are not made of sterling silver e.g.the Swarovski Crystallised Elements.
