Jewelry Care

All Thaleia pieces are made using precious metals (primarily solid sterling silver).

Over time, through exposure to the elements, your sterling silver pieces can start to oxidize. All this means is that a thin dark layer forms at the surface of your metal. In order to prevent this, I recommend keeping unworn jewelry in a plastic ziplock bag (which I provide in all your orders) and storing in a dark, dry place. 

Fun fact: The more you wear your pieces the less likely they are to tarnish!

Clean your pieces regularly to prevent build up from everyday gunk. Use an old extra soft toothbrush and some dish soap (I use dawn) and scrub gently under warm water.

If your piece has been laying out for a while and some oxidation builds up I recommend purchasing one of these Sunshine silver polishing cloths to keep things shiny. These are exactly what I use in the studio and one will last you years!

Treat your gemstone pieces with extra care, ie. avoiding harsh chemicals like hand sanitizer or perfumes.

If you are local in Toronto I am always happy to take back your pieces and give them a fresh polish, free of charge!
