Silver Plated Jewellery FAQs

• What is silver plate?

  Our silver-plated jewellery is coated in a layer of approximately three to five microns of silver plate on a brass base. This allows us to keep our designs both high quality and affordable, for long-term wear. For more information about the materials we use in our jewellery, read our jewellery material guide.

• Does silver-plated jewellery tarnish?

  Silver-plated jewellery requires a little more care than solid silver, as the plating can wear away with heavy use. However, you can gently buff your silver-plated pieces with a soft lint-free cloth to keep them in good condition. To prevent tarnish, it's best to store jewellery in a cloth bag and keep away from heat and beauty products, and we recommend removing your jewellery before showering or bathing to keep it looking its best. For more in-depth advice, read our guide on how to prevent your jewellery from tarnishing.

• How should I clean silver-plated jewellery?

  Tarnishing is a natural chemical reaction, especially with pieces worn every day, but caring for your jewellery and storing it well will help reduce natural wear and tear. You can gently buff your silver-plated jewellery with a lint-free cloth, which should be all it needs.
