Jewelry Care & Sizing Guide
Caring for Your Silver Jewelry
Silver jewelry, when properly cared for, can maintain its beauty and shine for years. However, due to its natural properties, silver can tarnish over time. Here are some simple tips to ensure your jewelry stays in top condition:
Keep it Dry: Always remove your silver jewelry before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes. Water and chemicals can cause tarnishing and damage, especially when exposed for extended periods.
Store Properly: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ideally, keep it in a soft cloth pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and other damage.
Polish Regularly: Silver naturally oxidizes and tarnishes with time. To restore its shine, use a polishing cloth designed for silver. Avoid using harsh chemicals, which can damage both the silver and any gemstones.
Avoid Impact: Silver is a relatively soft metal, so take care to avoid dropping or hitting your jewelry against hard surfaces. This will prevent scratches or dings, especially on intricate designs.
Gemstone Care: If your jewelry includes semiprecious gemstones, they also require special care. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat, harsh chemicals, or prolonged sunlight, as these factors can affect their color or clarity. Gently clean gemstones with a soft, damp cloth.
Ring Sizing
Finding your ring size is crucial for a comfortable and secure fit. The most accurate way is to visit a nearby jeweler for professional measurement. However if you don’t have this option, try these simple-at-home methods
· Method 1: Use a Ring You Already Own Find a ring that fits the finger you plan to wear the new ring on. Measure the inside diameter of the ring using a ruler or a measuring tape. Compare this measurement with a ring size chart to determine your size.
· Method 2: Use a Piece of String or Paper. Take a piece of string or a strip of paper and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length/circumference with a ruler. Compare the measurement with a ring size chart to find your size.
· Method 3: Ring Sizer Tool You can also use a ring sizer tool, which is available online and in many jewelry stores. This tool will give you a precise measurement for your ring size.
Important Tip: Although these methods can give you an estimate, we recommend that you visit a nearby jeweler for the most accurate sizing. They can measure your finger with a professional sizer, ensuring a perfect fit.
