Care of Pieces

Oxidation (a natural process of silver) can be delayed and the duration of plating can be prolonged by taking the following precautions:

  • Avoid contact with abrasive products such as cosmetics, detergents or perfumes;
  • Avoid other situations where excessive wear can occur, especially in the case of rings and bracelets;
  • Keep the pieces in suitable and closed packages to avoid the natural oxidation of silver; 
  • Pack the pieces carefully to avoid friction, ensuring that the chains are closed and separated from each other; 
  • Perspiration and chlorine cause pieces to wear faster; 
  • Clean the polished parts occasionally with a silver polishing cloth; in the case of gold pieces use a cloth for golden silver. In the case of dull parts, it is best to apply a liquid product specific to silver or golden silver. We recommend Hagerty cloths or liquids (hagertyportugal.com).

The durability of the plating depends on the care you take with the use and maintenance of your pieces.

Over time the plating wears off. If necessary, we can provide a quote for plating restoration.
