Jewellery Care

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by again! Today we are going to do a post on how to care for your jewellery. Karlande Designs uses only the highest quality Swarovski crystals and sterling silver components when making our jewellery.  Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with other metals, since silver alone is too soft to create durable jewellery. Therefore, sterling silver does have a tendency to tarnish when the other metals come in contact with gases or other substances in the air. 

Tips on Keeping Your Jewellery Tarnish Free:

• When not wearing your jewellery, keep it in the plastic bag. The plastic bag it came in has a tarnish-resistant coating on the inside.
• Keep your jewellery in a cool, dry place and make sure it's completed dry before storing it in the tarnish-resistant bag.
• Gently wash your jewellery in a mild detergent and rinse well. Do not use toothpaste to clean your jewellery as toothpaste is abrasive and may leave scratches.
• Gently polish or buff your jewellery with a sterling silver cleaning cloth. Karlande Designs is happy to offer these cloths for only $6.00. Please check out our website if you would like to purchase a cloth.
