How do I clean 1960s silver?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild silver polish specifically formulated for sterling silver items. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the metal or damage inset enamel and stones. Take extra care around bezel-set stones and enamel panels, ensuring polish does not build up in the recessed crevices of the design.

Are these pieces marked?

British items feature clear town, standard, and date hallmarks stamped directly into the metal. Scandinavian and Mexican pieces typically carry maker signatures and silver standard stamps on the reverse. These marks serve as the primary evidence for identifying the origin, workshop, and approximate production period of each object.

English pieces rely on specific date letters and assay office marks included within the official hallmark sequence. These codes pinpoint the exact year of manufacture. Items from international makers are dated through stylistic attributes, designer documentation, and standard workshop stamps characteristic of the 1960s period.

Can I use silver daily?

Sterling silver candlesticks and decorative dishes suit regular domestic display and gentle functional use. Cutlery and jewellery require sensible handling to preserve enamelled surfaces and softer set stones. Store pieces in dry conditions away from direct sunlight to prevent rapid tarnishing and protect organic elements like onyx and abalone shell.
