Jewellery Care

Alice Kaufmann Jewellery are all handmade out of 925 sterling silver. Like any other product you should remember to take good care of your jewellery to make them last forever. 

Advice:

// When you're not wearing your jewellery you should keep them in a safe and secure place, like your bedroom or the jewellery box provided.

// Do not keep your jewellery in the bathroom because all of the moisture from your shower and sink will make the sterling silver pieces tarnish extra quickly.

// Avoid direct contact with water and chemical products e.g. soap, oils, perfumes, moisturizers, chlorine. Do not wear your jewellery when in the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna or while showering. They can all cause tarnishing and damage.

// Make-up, perfume & hairspray all contain chemicals, which may dull the finish of your jewellery. 

// Gently wipe jewellery clean with a soft cloth after each wear to remove make up and oils from your skin. 

//  If buying oxydized silver, be aware that the black oxydized layer fades during wear. Especially and faster on items like rings and bracelets, which have more frequent contact with surfaces. 

// The surface and shininess of your silver jewellery will eventually fade or darken because of contact with clothes, sweat, perfume, moisturizers, hard surfaces, air pollution and others.

// To maintain the shininess and keep your jewellery clean. Put some hot water and a few drops of dish soap in a cup or bowl and rinse with a soft brush or an old toothbrush. Dry the pieces with a soft cloth. This will clean your jewellery from dirt and make them look shiny again.
