CARE GUIDE FOR LUXE DESIGN JEWELRY
Sterling silver has a nasty tendency to tarnish. The best and most practical way to keep your jewelry tarnish free is simply to wear it. Jewelry that is regularly worn will not tarnish as fast as jewelry that sits out on your dresser. There's some science behind this theory that has to do with the oils in your skin giving the silver a natural tarnish-resist, but we know from experience; the jewelry we wear doesn't tarnish! Try it and see. Some other options are:
TO PREVENT TARNISH:
-Keep your jewelry in airtight Zip-Lock bags. It won’t tarnish if it isn't exposed to air. The worst place to leave your jewelry is in a steamy bathroom.
-3M and Hagerty make tarnish resistant papers that you can find at most jewelry supply stores.
HOW TO USE ANTI-TARNISH STRIPS:
1. Place printed side down inside display or storage area.
2. Use one square for every square foot of space.
3. Minimize exposure to air and replace strips every 6 months or at first sign of tarnish. (We cut these into small pieces to put into individual baggies for long term storage.)
IF YOUR JEWELRY IS ALREADY TARNISHED:
Most of our jewelry has a matte finish. The surface is rougher than highly polished silver, and needs special care. There are several ways to freshen up the appearance of your jewelry.
-3M makes a microfine polishing pad. We love this for polishing up the surface of fingerprinted or lightly tarnished pieces. It restores the soft matte finish, without removing any of the antique black details, and you can cut it into smaller pieces for easier use. This is a specialty item from jewelry supply stores.
-Superfine steel wool is a great thing to use for cleaning tarnished surfaces and chains. BULLDOG is our favorite brand; you can find this at hardware stores.
-For lightly tarnished jewelry try moistening a soft cloth with warm water and a little soap, and pat dry.
-Rouge cloths are also available at jewelry supply stores. Rub the piece with the red side of the cloth containing the polishing compound “rouge”, then buff the piece with the other side. This works well on highly polished jewelry too.
-For deep cleaning, like the tiny surfaces of a chain, our favorite product is TWINKLE silver cleaner. Use a soft toothbrush to really get the paste into every crevice and it will come out tarnish free. You should be able to find it in most drug or department stores
-We don't recommend the dip style of polish; it tends to tarnish faster than ever after cleaning with it.

Excellent	September 12, 2012
Reviewer: Anon

I was very impressed with the 3M polishing pad. Aside from my luxe jewelry, I have lots of silver that lost its matte finish. This pad restored it! I was very happy with the results.
