How do I clean vintage silver jewellery?

Clean silver gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove surface tarnish without abrading the metal or damaging set stones. Avoid liquid dips if the piece contains enamel, pearls, or marcasite stones, as harsh chemicals can loosen settings or dissolve enamel surfaces.

Are these pieces hallmarked?

Many items feature maker marks, town marks, and silver standard stamps indicating their origin and purity. British pieces often carry clear assay office stamps and date letters. Scandinavian designs frequently display maker ciphers and national silver marks stamped discreetly on the reverse of the metal.

How should I store my vintage jewellery?

Store each item separately in a lined box or soft pouch to prevent scratches between harder gemstones and softer silver surfaces. Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect enamel finishes and prevent accelerated tarnishing of the silver.

Can I wear these items daily?

Sturdy sterling silver bangles and plain rings suit regular daily wear, provided you remove them during physical work or sports. Enamelled items and pearl pieces require greater care to avoid impact damage and exposure to cosmetics or perfumes.
