Maintenance Information

1. Amber stones - Wash thoroughly in luke warm soapy water. Finish using a soft clean cloth dipped in a tiny amount of olive or linseed oil. Carefully wipe off any residue.
2. Re-matting scratch finish jewellery - You will need either fine grade wire wool or Scotchbrite. The jewellery to be refinished should be dry and clean. Any area's which you do not want refinishing should be sellotaped off. With the wool, firmly and smoothly rub it across the surface in the direction you want to go. You may have to do this several times to get the entire surface scratched. Be careful going over any stones as you can damage them if you rub too vigorously. Warning - constant finishing using wire wool over time will start to wear the metal away so it is not something that should be done every day.
   
   ONLY UNDERTAKE THIS IF YOU ARE SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING, OTHERWISE ASK FOR A DEMONSTRATION FROM A PROFESSIONAL JEWELLER. WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY MISTAKES MADE.
   
   
3. Oxidised finish - A good wash with warm soapy (washing-up liquid) water and a very soft toothbrush works well. Dry item carefully and thoroughly. We do not recommend using Argenteus silver dip or silver foam as it may remove some of the oxidisation.
