General Care Tips
Our handmade jewellery is made to the highest standards and using high quality components. In order to keep your jewellery in great condition and looking its' best, below are a few key tips for caring for your pieces.
- We recommend regular polishing with a soft cotton polishing cloth. This is particularly important to keep your Sterling Silver & Hill Tribe Silver items clean and shiny, and will assist with reducing any tarnishing (which is a natural process occurring when exposed to any kind of moisture, even in the air). A polishing cloth also works well with any of your gemstone bead pieces.
- When not being worn, you should always store your jewellery in an airtight container, cotton bag or jewellery box and where possible, stored separately from other metals. Beaded jewellery can be hung on a hook, or likewise stored in a jewellery box or cotton bag (just be careful for any tangling/knotting).
- Specifically for Elastic jewellery - anything strung on stretch cord (even high quality which we use) can be damaged if over-stretched - best practice is to roll bracelets over your wrist rather than stretch to wear/remove.* Always use our size guide to ensure you have the correct size at purchase.
- Take off your jewellery when showering, swimming, and also when sleeping to prevent accidental damage.
- Keep away from perfumes, body oils, sunscreen, hairspray, and cleaning products where possible
