Jewellery Aftercare 

Sterling Silver is a soft metal and it just loves to be worn. If your storing sterling silver you need to keep them stored in an air tight packet to help reduce tarnish. Over time Silver that is exposed to the natural air and water that is in the atmosphere will get a natural blackening. This is called Patina. When your items start to get natural Patina you can simply take a polishing cloth suitable for silver and clean the items. Never use the polishing cloth on the resin areas of your items. This could cause them to dull.(Contact me if this happens and I can re coat to fix.)

​

 *REMOVE WHEN SHOWERING, SWIMMING, HOT TUBS OR CLEANING  WITH CHEMICALS!!! DO NOT SPRAY WITH PERFUME.

*DONT LEAVE IN A WINDOWSIL WHEN NOT BEING WORN! ignoring this could cause damage.

This is not covered by Willow & Co as it would be caused from going against care guidelines but please do contact me because 90% of the time I can reverse damage to ashes area. 

 If this does happen and I will do my best to fix where possible but you will need to pay for postage costs and for a re make if I am unable to fix the item.

 The resin used at Willow & Co is a jewellery resin which is non-toxic, high uv resistance but advisable to keep out of water as its showerproof  but all resins are not to be constantly submerged into water. Wearing in water over months on end can damage the stone.
