Silver Care |
We clean our Bali silver jewellery with special anti tarnish buffing cloths. These cloths are impregnated with cleaner and have anti tarnish properties and are excellent for bringing silver to a perfect shine. We do not recommend silver dips or liquid cleaners as our jewellery incorporates natural shells, mother of pearl and ebony wood which can be easily damaged by these harsh chemicals. Another tip is to keep your individual pieces in little air tight zip lock bags. Sterling silver reacts naturally to air and moisture and will tarnish over time. Keeping your precious jewellery in air tight bags will greatly reduce the incidence of tarnishing. Your jewellery will also be protected from scratches and scuffing. The sterling silver standard of 925 indicates that the silver content must be 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% will be an alloy, usually copper which is added to give the silver strength whilst at the same time maintaining the natural beauty of the precious metal. 99.9% pure silver is generally regarded as too soft to use effectively in jewellery.
