Take good care of your silver jewelry
Maanestens silver jewelry is made from recycled sterling silver (925) and often combined with precious stones – natural materials that remain beautiful with a little care.
-
Start the day right
Put on jewelry last – after showering, applying cream, perfume and hair products. Chemicals can oxidise silver and cause gemstones to fade.
-
Avoid exercising while wearing jewelry
Movement, impact and sweat can cause scratches, minor damage and dark shadows on the silver.
-
On holiday – bear with consideration
Sunscreen, oils, chlorine and salt water can discolour silver and damage certain gemstones, especially pearls, opals and corals. Sand can scratch and dull the surface, so give your jewelry a break.
-
Be careful when cleaning
Wear gloves or remove jewelry. Cleaning agents and soap can discolour and dull both metal and stones.
-
Clean gently
Polish with a silver cloth or place the jewelry in lukewarm water with a little washing-up liquid for 5-10 minutes. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
-
Always store your jewelry separately
Keep jewelry in separate boxes or bags to avoid scratches.
-
Give your jewelry a break at night
Remove your jewelry when you sleep. This reduces wear and tear and allows your skin to breathe.
