What is Silver?
Silver is a precious metal admired for its brilliance, elegance, and timeless appeal.

"At Gilt & Glitter, under our Fine Silver collection, we offer genuine silver jewellery that is carefully crafted and electroplated with a protective layer of rhodium, platinum, or yellow gold. This layer enhances shine, helps prevent tarnish, and ensures long-lasting brilliance."

How to Care for Your Jewellery
To keep your jewellery looking its best, follow these simple tips:

Gentle Cleaning: Avoid unnecessary cleaning if there is no visible oil or dirt, as excessive rubbing may reduce the protective plating over time. When cleaning is needed, simply wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils or dust after wearing.

Keep Dry: To preserve your jewellery’s shine and quality, it's best to avoid contact with moisture, perfumes, lotions, and other liquids. This simple step helps maintain its long-lasting beauty and extends the protective plating layer's lifespan.

Store Properly: Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or lined box, to prevent scratches and preserve its shine.

Silver Polishing: With your package (attached to the gift box), we have included a silver polishing cloth. Please do not use this cloth while the protective layer remains on your jewellery. This protective plating helps prevent the natural oxidation (tarnishing) of genuine silver. Over time, with regular use, the plating may wear off. Once this happens, you can use the silver cloth to polish your jewellery and restore its brilliance.

Additional Tip: By taking off your jewellery before swimming, showering, or intense workouts, you help preserve the plating and maintain its shine longer.

By following these easy steps, your jewellery will remain beautiful and radiant for an extended time.
