Jewelry care and Maintenance

We recommend that customers remove jewelry before going to bed or participating in any physical activity. Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewelry. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, salt water, and silver polish.

STERLING SILVER

All sterling silver will tarnish over time, but it will happen much faster when it comes into contact with agents such as perfume, salty air, Sulphur, skin creams, hairspray, chlorine and acidic skin ph. The amount of tarnishing (oxidation) that occurs is dependent on the skin and care habits of the wearer. Tarnishing is therefore not a manufacturing fault. To prevent tarnishing/oxidization and to revive luster, all products should be cleaned using a soft polishing cloth.

GOLD PLATED AND RODHIUM PLATED JEWELLERY

Gold plated jewelry will not tarnish but over time chemicals, perfume, oil, moisture, wear and soil may cause it to corrode. We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth or washing in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Please avoid contact with any chemicals as it may remove the gold plated layer. When storing, please protect your gold plated jewelry from scratches, chemicals, extreme temperatures and sunlight.

LEATHER JEWELLERY

Leather is a natural material, general wear and cleaning may cause shrinkage and color variations. Silvanus cannot be held responsible for any damage due to negligence. To preserve the quality of Silvanus leather products, please do not wash with any household cleaning fluids. If wet, please allow leather to dry naturally. Do not place near a source of heating or open fire.
