White brass tarnishes rather easily, therefore we recommend to polish it on a regulary basis with a soft cloth and the polishing cream you either received in our shop or you can purchase at any jewellery store or supermarket. As with the silver, it is recommended to clean the brass as soon as any staining is detected, as it gets harder by time to clean.
- Keep white brass in a dry environment - If tarnished, use a special silver polishing cloth or a dry soft cloth and polishing creams
Silver The best way to keep your silver jewellery in a good condition is prevention. Sterling silver tends to tarnish, when exposed to humid conditions for a long time. Therefore avoid any contact with water. If not worn, keep the jewellery in a zip-lock bag with anti-tarnish paper. If it tarnishes anyway, there are two stages: First it gets a yellow colour. This should be rather easy to be removed, either by washing it with mild dish soap (must not contain acid) and warm water or by using a special silver cloth. The purple, brown or black tarnish is harder to remove: here you can use polishing creams or liquids, but you have to be careful: gemstones or pearls manufactured into the silver might get harmed when exposed to these chemicals, and any decorative oxidation will be removed. So be careful not to let your jewellery tarnish in the first place! - Store silver in a zip-lock bag with anti-tarnish paper - Avoid contact with water - Yellow stains: remove with warm water and mild soap or a silver polishing cloth - Black-purple stains: remove with polishing cream - Be careful: decorative oxidation might get lost, and gemstones and pearls might get harmed by aggressive cleaning liquids.
