How to care for your Sterling Silver Jewellery
Precious metals do tarnish over time, even if they are stored correctly in a nice jewellery box, a tarnish preventing cloth or bag (or pop in an anti-tarnish tab).
Keep your jewellery in a cool and dry place. From time to time, it’s a good idea to polish your items with a silver polishing cloth. The same goes for plated jewellery.
I also recommend in investing in a bottle of polishing fluid. I use “Amazing Anti-Tarnish Silver Polish” by Town Talk.
Polymer clay jewellery.
Though polymer clay is generally tough, it can break. I had a few accidents. When polymer clay items hit the hard floor they can break, so handle these items with care. You can find more information about polymer clay here.
