Shiny sterling silver is versatile, durable, and soft enough to be engraved or molded into a variety of jewelry designs. Sterling silver jewelry is popular for its neutral nature and incredible value. Also because the softer material requires more careful care.
All sterling silver jewelry purchased at LAITNESSE is water-resistant and should not tarnish over time.
The gold plated jewelry is also made from sterling silver 925, the gold plated being between one or two microns. To ensure the gold plated does not damage, do not expose the jewelry to water, perfumes, alcohol, or any other substances. If exposed to any of the above the gold plated will tarnish and turn silver.
We recommend you clean all jewelry with bicarbonate powder every 6 months to achieve maximum shine. Gold plated jewelry requires more care. Using your brush very intensely may cause the gold plating to fade away, therefore it is very important that you do this process very carefully to avoid the gold plating from wearing away.
Store in a dry place such as a felt lined jewelry case, a soft pouch, or soft tissues so your pieces don’t scratch or dent against each other.
It better be stored in a plastic zip-lock bag made of polyethylene. Never use polyvinyl plastic bags, such as trash can liners, as they contain sulfur compounds or rubber containers which will make sterling silver tarnish faster and possibly turn black. Do not store your jewelry in the bathroom or any other humid places.
