The Star Chain

Some people can wear sterling silver jewellery and rarely take off their body without experiencing visible tarnishing. The most common reasons for those who experience tarnishing may find their city's water source is 'Hard water' (high level of minerals) or their sweat has higher levels of salt. Other reasons for tarnishing can be due to exposure to high levels of salty air, chlorine, sulphur, humidity, cosmetics, household bleach and other strong chemicals. To prevent tarnish as much as possible, we recommend that you store your fine jewellery in a safe, dry place. Rest assured, sterling silver can generally be polished back to it's original shine. Polishing cloths or affordable 'Ultra Sonic Cleaning Machines' are a great investment to ensure your jewellery lasts forever!
