Najo | Silver Embrace Bracelet

Jewellery Care Guide

It is natural for sterling silver jewellery to tarnish or discolour over time, particularly if the piece is worn regularly. Tarnish is caused by several factors which include:

• Exposure to moisture, humidity, direct sunlight for long periods of time.
• Acidity (ph balance) of a person’s skin, which in turn is affected, for example, by diet, medication and stress.
• Exposure to perfume, soap, moisturiser, shampoo etc. and cleaning products such as dishwashing liquid and bleach.
• Exposure to chlorine.

How to Care For Your NAJO Piece

NAJO advises against:

• Swimming, showering or undertaking vigorous exercise while wearing jewellery.
• Exposing jewellery to cleaning agents or cosmetics such as foundations, perfumes, hairsprays.
• Exposing jewellery to excessive heat or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.
• Use of commercial silver ‘dip’ solutions as they are unsuitable for cleaning hollow, oxidised, stone-set, pearl or plated jewellery and can cause surface deterioration.
• Wearing delicate jewellery on more than an occasional basis
