Silver will always tarnish naturally and harsh chemicals such as household cleaners and perfumes can be quite damaging to precious metals, so I recommend cleaning and maintaining the appearance of your piece to prolong it's lifespan. Highly polished finishes will only need a quick buff every once in a while with a jewellery polishing cloth. If you have a piece with a mixture of different finishes, such as matte and mirror, it's often best to use a product called Silver Dip or Silver Foam to preserve the finish. These products are available on the highstreet and are gentle with most precious jewellery, however, they must never make contact with porous stones or pearls as it will permanently damage their lustre.

All ALW pieces come with their own individual care instructions to ensure they retain their beauty for many years to come.
