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!
If your pieces have oxidized you can use a soft, old toothbrush and good old dawn dish soap gently scrub until the shiny silver is exposed again. Rinse under lukewarm water.
Make sure to treat your pieces with gemstones 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!
