To best look after your piece:- keep in the box provided when not being worn. Air, and specifically the moisture in the air oxidises metals (including silver and gold) which makes the metal darken/patina.- don't wear for extensive periods of time as body sweat will make metals tarnish.- don't wear to bed, swimming, sauna, exercising as chemicals will corrode the metal, and sweat will darken the metal quicker.- always put on your jewellery last thing when getting ready. Body lotions and perfumes will discolour and damage it.- as long as you haven't exposed your jewellery to chemicals such as the ones above, you can bring back the original colour and shine by using a little brass/silver polish or just a little washing up liquid, warm water and a non-abrasive cloth. Make sure the jewellery is always fully dry after cleaning. Plated items have a shorter shelf life than raw brass, sterling silver or gold. I can make pieces with sterling silver or gold on request.
