What is vermeil?
Vermeil or silver gilt is basically gold plated sterling silver. Vermeil is a common jewelry industry term. To be considered vermeil jewelry the gold plating must be at least 10K gold and at least 1.5 micrometers thick.
What is sterling silver?
Sterling silver is the highest quality standard of silver jewelry. Sterling silver is 90% pure silver with a mixture of other alloys for durability and strength.
How long will my jewelry last?
With proper care your jewelry, accessories and gift ware, whether sterling silver, pewter or gold can last a lifetime and be passed on for generations.
How do I care for silver?
While you are cleaning the house or swimming in a pool we recommend removing your silver, and gold or silver plated jewelry. Many household cleaning chemicals such as ammonia bleach and chlorine can discolor, damage, or cause a film to form on your silver, plated or pewter jewelry and dull its appearance.
All jewelry is fragile and can be easily broken while in bed or playing sports. We recommend removing your silver jewelry during such activities to avoid kinking, scratches, and breakage.
How do I store silver jewelry?
Store your sterling silver jewelry in an anti-tarnish pouch or sealed bag, wrapped in an anti-tarnish cloth. The anti-tarnish cloth or pouch slows down the tarnishing process and keeps the jewelry from rubbing against harder jewelry, like gold that can scratch it. Always keep your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place.
How do I clean sterling silver?
You should always use a phosphate free detergent to clean sterling silver with. A low abrasive cleaner, such as a silver polish cloth or a soft cotton cloth is a good choice for removing light tarnish. We do not recommend the use of toothpaste to clean their sterling silver. Most jewelers caution against toothpaste it is too abrasive, and leaves dulling scratches.
How do I care for pewter jewelry, accessories and house wares?
Pewter is a traditionally silver like metal alloy consisting of 85% to 95% tin. The remaining balance is made up of copper and antimony. The house ware products are guaranteed lead-free and quite safe to be used for all kinds of food and drink. While you are cleaning the house or swimming in a pool we recommend removing your jewelry especially your pewter or silver plated pewter jewelry. Many household cleaning chemicals such as ammonia bleach and chlorine can discolor, damage, or cause a film to form on your silver, plated or pewter jewelry and dull its appearance. Always keep your pewter in a cool, dry place. All jewelry is fragile and can be easily broken while in bed or playing sports. We recommend removing your pewter jewelry during such activities to avoid kinking, scratches, and breakage.
How do I store and clean pewter jewelry?
Pewter is a bright and shiny metal that is very similar in appearance to silver and pewter will also oxidize to a dull gray over time if left untreated. Store your pewter jewelry in an anti-tarnish pouch or sealed bag separately from other jewelry.
To recapture the exquisite original luster of pewter wash in hot water using liquid soap and rinse in almost boiling water and dry immediately then polish with a soft cotton cloth. DO NOT PLACE pewter house wares IN THE DISHWASHER.
