Our Sterling Silver Jewelry

All of our jewelry is finely crafted 92.5% sterling silver - the highest quality (and 7.5% copper). Look for the .925 stamp on the back of each piece. Most gift items (like clocks, boxes, and frames) are nickel plated which makes them resistant to tarnishing and scratching.

How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry

Remember silver is a very soft metal and you can scratch it if you aren't careful so don't rub it too briskly. Never use anything but a clean 100% cotton or a special sterling silver cleaning cloth or very soft bristle brush, like a babies tooth brush or a horsehair silver brush. To remove light dirt, fingerprints or makeup just use a small amount of mild liquid detergent to a 1/2 cup of warm water and rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water. Should you have a great deal of tarnish and need more cleaning than a polishing cloth can do, you will probably have to do a deeper cleaning using a silver paste cleaner or a silver polish spray. If you wear your sterling silver jewelry regularly, your body oils help to keep the tarnishing down and cleaning to a minimum. To prevent tarnishing while your not wearing it, store your jewelry in a plastic zip lock bag. Using toothpaste or baking soda seems to be controversial. I have been researching this and some say yes and others say no! The argument is that the baking soda and toothpaste are too abrasive. Use at your own risk.
