It may be that you have some expensive jewellery or that you have inexpensive jewellery but it has sentimental value to you, whatever jewellery you have, you will need to be able to look after it in order to preserve it and keep it looking shiny and new.

Silver Jewellery will naturally tarnish over time. Always protect your jewellery from knocks, scratches, chemicals, sunlight and heat/cold to minimise these effects. Simply removing your jewellery before cleaning or washing can help drastically reduce tarnishing.

Ideally you should take your jewellery to a professional jewellers to get it cleaned properly. They will know what chemicals to use in order to preserve the metal and give it a sine.

To protect your jewellery, pieces should be individually placed in a pouch or within a soft lined box to stop them being scratched or tangled. Ideally store your jewellery in a dark, cool and dry place, and try to keep pieces apart, so that they don’t rub together or tangle up.
