Materials and Cleaning Tips

Silver and Gold Jewellery

Both silver and gold jewellery are known for their beauty and durability. However, these metals can tarnish and lose their lustre over time. Here's how to maintain their shine:

  • Silver: Use a gentle silver polish and a soft cloth to clean your silver pieces. Regular cleaning helps prevent tarnish buildup.
  • Gold: A mild soap solution and gentle scrubbing with a soft brush will keep gold jewellery pristine. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel is a popular choice for cremation jewellery due to its hypoallergenic properties and resistance to tarnish. These pieces require minimal upkeep:
