Sterling silver is a beautiful precious metal that requires some care to keep it shiny. Exposure to air can cause it to oxidise and tarnish. To keep your Annie Haak Designs jewellery looking stunning we recommend that you follow these care instructions.
Store your Annie Haak Designs jewellery in its pouch in a cool dry place to help slow tarnishing and prevent scratching.
When wearing your Annie Haak Designs jewellery avoid contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, chlorine, perfume, hairspray, deodorant or other products that may cause your jewellery to tarnish. Do not wear your jewellery when swimming or bathing.
All sterling silver jewellery will tarnish as natural gases in the Earth’s atmosphere (sulphur or hydrogen sulphide) react with the surface of the silver. Hydrogen sulphide is also found in everyday items such as paper, wood, hairspray, eggs and onions. High levels of humidity will increase the rate at which silver will tarnish.
To keep your Annie Haak Designs silver jewellery tarnish free we recommend you use a high quality silver cloth to remove dirt and body oils from your jewellery every time you wear it. We do not recommend the use of silver dips as they may contain harsh chemicals that could be harmful to your jewellery. Pearls should be washing in mild soapy water and gentry dried on a soft cloth, every time they are worn.
Following these simple care instructions will ensure that your Annie Haak Designs jewellery will continue to look beautiful for years to come.
