Aera Silver Drop Earrings

All urskas' jewelry is made from 925 sterling silver and is safe to wear on your skin. Sterling silver is a beautiful precious metal that does need a little love and care to keep it at it's best. Note that non of our jewelry is plated, therefore it will become slightly darker throughout time, this is due to a natural process of silver oxidation. Sterling silver will naturally tarnish with exposure to the air, environment, perfumes, moisturisers, hairspray and soaps. These are obviously a fact of life so regular cleaning will help keep your silver sparkling. It’s difficult to avoid tarnish on silver, but as this is a non permanent chemical change it could be removed. As tarnishing is a natural process you can either except it as part of the ageing process of your jewelry or you could try to prevent it and eventually remove it when desired.

We advise you put your jewelry on after applying hair products, hand and body creams, perfume and make-up. Remove rings when washing your hands and avoid swimming and bathing while wearing jewelry. As the structure is relatively thin and silver is known as soft metal, jewelry is quite delicate. Precious metals are soft and can distort if squeezed or twisted. Repeated twisting may cause cracking and repeated abrasion may cause permanent changes to the surface. All jewelry should be removed when engaging with activities. We also recommend you put on jewelry last when dressing and take off first when undressing as well as we highly recommend to remove jewelry before going to sleep. While not wearing store your jewelry in the original packaging to avoid scratches.

We recommend the use of a soft cloth with gentle rubbing. If needed jewelry can be washed in warm water with a mild detergent. Completely dry with a soft cloth before storing. If you need something more effective to clean your jewelry we recommend you use specialist silver polishing cloths or even tarnish removing solution. Take special care when cleaning jewelry with gemstones as some chemicals could damage them and change their appearance. If your pieces are heavily tarnished and you don’t have the time to clean them, we advise you take them to a professional silver cleaner.
