How To Care for Copper
Copper metals tarnish easily. The following factors will cause your jewelry to tarnish:
- Air Contaminants
- Skin Contact
- Water/Water Contaminants
The easiest way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is to store it properly. Our Anti-tarnish storage bags (AT104) or other air tight containers are ideal for this. The less air contact there is with the jewelry the better off you are.
- Do not store tarnished jewelry with non-tarnished jewelry.
- Make sure your jewelry is clean and dry before storing it.
- Make sure your storage container is dry before storing jewelry in it.
- For the greatest results, as an anti-tarnish strip to your storage container
Our Anti-tarnish strips (AT100) absorbed the air contaminants which cause your jewelry to tarnish. They are very effective and last for 6-12 months depending on the size of the container they are in.
Another method for cleaning jewelry is to use a Polishing Cloth (BF260 & BF705). This method of cleaning will produce a different look from cleaning with a solution. Cleaning solutions remove the tarnish from all surfaces of the piece. A polishing cloth will only clean the high points of the piece giving the polished piece the look of antique jewelry. |
