Description

This gorgeous Sterling Silver And Gold Plate Ballet Charm Necklace is a perfect gift for any Ballerina. Two Sterling Silver charms sit side by side, one a Ballerina Pump and the other a dainty, twirling Ballerina. The Ballerina is finished with a lustrous coating of 18ct gold plate for a pop of colour and beautifully contrasts the Sterling Silver shoe. Both charms hang prettily from a sterling silver chain which is adjustable from 16-18". Silver does tarnish over time when the surface of the silver reacts with oxygen to create silver oxide which is grey/black in colour. To prevent this, or slow down the process, pop all your Jewellery into airtight plastic bags. This also stops your Jewellery from being scratched and you can then stack your Jewellery neatly in a dry box or cabinet. To clean tarnished silver or gold, a soft “silver cloth” would be your first step. With a little bit of “huff” and elbow grease you should find that your jewellery returns to its original high shine. If there are more stubborn stains you may need to use some silver dip or other similar cleaners but DO make sure you follow the instructions. Do not soak, do not use hot water, and any cloths that you use make sure they are clean otherwise little specks of dirt on the cloth may scratch the surface of your jewellery. For Jewellery with set stones or pearls then a silver cloth really should be all you use, stones and pearls should not be put into any cleaning solution. Taking a little time with the cloth to get into those hard to reach corners will pay off. Silver will react to different chemicals such as chlorine, moisturisers, perfumes and even salt. You should remove your Jewellery for swimming, exercise, showering and sleeping as all these activities can increase the risk of tarnishing and discolouration. The discolouration caused by some of these chemicals can be irreversible. Some of our rings have an adjustable feature to fit most finger sizes. They are able to be gently pulled to adjust. Forceful pulling can cause the band to wear and doing this repetitively can cause the band to break, so please do so with care.
