Taking Care of Your Jewellery
Storing silver in the open air and humidity for extended period of time can cause it to tarnish quickly. The tarnish will first appear a golden hues on the silver and then quickly turns to black. This is caused by oxidation and warm moisture in air.
To keep tarnish to a minimum we always advise customers to store luxury purchased from Colour Couture in the Silk Pouch in which it arrives. For light tarnish, we recommend using silver cleaning solution. Be careful not to soak gemstones and crystals in the solution.

| To remove light dirt, oil or makeup simply wipe with the free professional jeweller's cloth arrives with your luxury jewellery. It is usually safe dip the cloth in a small amount of mild liquid detergent/ warm water mix to wipe off stubborn fingerprint marks. But it is essential that your jewellery is rinse thoroughly with clean water. |
 | For severe tarnish, it is important to first wipe the jewellery to remove surface dirt and oils. Make sure the surface or countertop you are cleaning on is not covered by layers of old newspaper, then dip the dry silver piece into the liquid for no more than two minutes, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
If your luxury jewellery piece contains porous gemstone stones or pearls do NOT dip the piece as this will damage the surface of the stone or pearl. Colour Couture also has available, specialist Jewellery Cleaning solutions suitable for delicate gemstones
