All silver jewellery may tarnish over
time, especially if it is not being worn. We want you to enjoy
Silver Phoenix Studio jewellery at its best and we will tell you
if a piece needs special treatment.
A gentle wash in warm soapy water, rinse and gentle patting dry
will keep most pieces in good condition. You can use a soft
silver cloth if your piece needs a bit more of a clean but
please don't put any of our jewellery in silver dips as this may
harm stones.
AMBER ALERT!
If you buy any of our natural, rare Baltic Amber it will always
be genuine and never a resin or plastic so there are a few extra
considerations to keep it looking its best:
- Never put amber in silver dips or corrosive cleaners
- Do not leave in direct sunlight
- Apply prefume, deodorants and cosmetics before you put on your
amber jewellery
- Amber is for wearing and not chewing!
- Treat your amber as a delicate material
- Do not bathe, swim or allow contact with suntan lotions and
creams
WOODLAND COLLECTION
This collection is made from delicate natural material and
although normal wearing should not have any impact on the piece
it is best to follow the following tips to keep it at its best.
- If you do get your Woodland piece wet, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth as soon as possible and leave at room temperature to dry
completely
- Some pieces are delicate and should be treated as such,
especially if the piece is made from leaves
- Do not spray perfume, lotions and deodorant directly onto
pieces
- Do not bathe, swim or shower with your Woodland Collection
jewellery on
- Do not try and force the piece to bend, be gentle
FEATHERS
If a piece includes natural
feathers it is best that you don't get them wet as they will
bunch together and look messy. That's why birds are continually
preening and oiling their feathers to keep them dry and in good
condition! If you do get them wet or muddy wash them very gently
in tepid water and use a hair dryer on a cool setting to dry
them. Stroke the feather in the direction it naturally forms as
there are little 'barbs' that hold the filaments together a bit
like a zipper, so treat your feathers well and they should last.
Feathers used in my jewellery are either found or given to me as
a gift. Some are bought from trusted sources and all are
by-products.
