Jewelry Care Tips
So you’ve purchased some beautiful jewelry… now how do you keep it beautiful and lasting forever? Here are a few tips to care for your jewelry:
Keep it sealed - brass and silver will tarnish when they are exposed to the air (this is called oxidation), so to limit this, you can keep jewelry in a sealed bag, or even just a jewelry box will help!
Wipe down - use a microfiber cloth or even a polishing cloth to wipe clean. When we wear jewelry the oil from our skin can cause the metal to tarnish!
Polish - you can purchase silver polish to clean off the tarnish from sterling silver - just as you would use on real silverware! For brass, use a little vinegar and flour mixture to rub away tarnish!
These are just a few simple ways to care for your jewelry and cherish it for years to come! If you’re like me, you may just embrace the aging of brass. I actually prefer brass after it has tarnished a bit, I love the worn in look! However you care (or don’t care) for your jewelry, I don’t judge - as long as you LOVE it!
