Tarnishing is a natural process that is caused when sterling silver is exposed to humidity and chemicals. To minimize this we suggest you clean your sterling silver jewellery regularly by gently buffing it with a soft cotton cloth.

To store you sterling silver jewellery you should -

• Ideally place it in a plastic or zip lock bag before putting it into the Sheenashona jewellery pouch and box provided
