You must care for your sterling silver locket so
it looks good for years to come.

Over time, metal can corrode or tarnish. To avoid
this, you need to store, wear, and clean your
silver charms and locket properly. Store all
jewellery pieces individually. Place them in an
airtight bag, in an area with low humidity. All
closures and clasps should be unhooked, and place
a piece of chalk or packet of silica in the
storage bag. You can also prevent tarnishing by
wearing your memory lockets regularly, as the
oils from your body have a cleaning effect.

You do need to be mindful about when you wear
your locket and locket charms, however, as
certain activities can accelerate tarnishing.
Remove your jewellery before putting on makeup or
lotion, spraying hairspray, swimming, sunbathing,
cooking with any foods that contain sulphur, and
using household cleaning supplies. You need to
clean your sterling silver jewellery properly,
and polishing is the best option. Avoid rubbing
too hard on any engraved sections, follow the
grain of the silver instead of rubbing in a
circular pattern, and avoid areas that are
intentionally oxidised.

Follow these tips and your sterling silver locket
will shine brightly.
