Sterling silver is a living metal, it responds to the air around it, which is part of what makes it so satisfying to wear and polish back to life. A little care goes a long way.

Everyday wear

Sterling silver tarnish happens naturally over time, especially with exposure to moisture, perfume, and everyday products. Put your bangle on last, after makeup, perfume, and lotion, and take it off before swimming or showering.

Cleaning

A soft polishing cloth is all you need for most tarnish on polished surfaces. On the satin finish, gently buff in one direction with a green Scotch-Brite scourer, the kind you can pick up from most supermarkets, until the tarnish lifts and the satin finish is restored.

Storage

Store your bangle somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight, ideally in a soft pouch or lined box rather than loose in a drawer. Keeping it away from other jewellery helps prevent scratching.

A note from me

Every piece I make is solid sterling silver, handcrafted here in my Sydney studio, built to be worn every day and to last. If your bangle ever needs a proper clean or polish, reach out and I'm happy to help.
