Jewellery Care Guide

Caring for your silver jewellery 

At Sulu Designs all of our jewellery is crafted from solid .925 sterling silver, we decided to use this material as it is one of the most robust. Our jewels are made to last so they can come on all your salty escapes. 

While sterling silver is known for its strength it isn’t impossible for it to tarnish and scratch over time. Here are a few simple instructions we suggest you follow to prevent this from happening:

  • When taking your jewellery off place it in a safe dry place, we suggest a box or bag separate from your other jewellery, this will help prevent scratching.
  • Dry your jewellery really well after it gets wet. 
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals around your new jewels, such as: perfumes and household cleaning products. 
  • Taking your jewellery off when doing rough activity will help keep their 'new' look. 


    Cleaning your ocean jewels

    Keeping your jewellery clean is also an important step in maintaining the look of your new jewellery, you can do this by:

    • Making your own sterling silver polishing treatment wash at home, you can do this by simply making a paste out of bicarb soda and water and gently  scrubing it over your jewellery.
    • Use a polishing cloth, you can purchase one online or pop into your local jewellery shop. We are currently working on getting some on our website but in the meantime the polishing treatment will do the trick.

    Handle with care

    It's super important that all our products are handled with care but most importantly our necklaces, these are made with high quality .925 sterling silver italian chains however, if they are tugged on too hard they can break.
