Jewellery Care

All TARA Jewellery are made from sterling silver 925,  easily recognizable by its ‘925’ stamp of authenticity. It is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive or irritable skin.

All sterling silver jewelry purchased at TARA is water-resistant and should not tarnish over time.

We recommend you clean all jewelry with bicarbonate powder every 6 months to achieve maximum shine.

Our gold plated jewelry is also made from sterling silver 925, the gold plated being between one or two microns. To ensure the gold plated does not damage, do not expose the jewelry to water, perfumes, alcohol or any other substances. If exposed to any of the above the gold plated will tarnish and turn silver.

We recommend avoiding perfume, deodorant or other chemicals. 

CARING FOR YOUR JEWELLERY

✧ When you're not wearing your jewellery you should keep it in a safe and secure place, like your bedroom.

✧ Gently wipe jewellery clean with one of our polishing cloths after each wear to remove make up and oils (from skin). 

✧ Jewellery boxes are a great place to keep your jewellery, but you should keep in mind that it does not protect the sterling silver pieces from tarnishing and oxidation.

✧ Do not keep your jewellery in the bathroom because all of the moisture from your shower and sink will make the sterling silver pieces tarnish extra quickly.

✧ Avoid direct contact with water and chemical products e.g. soap, perfume, abrasive products.

✧ Do not wear jewellery when in the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna/steam room or while bathing or showering.

✧ Do not wear jewellery when in contact with chlorine, detergents, oils, moisturisers & perfumes as these can all cause tarnishing and damage.

✧ Remove jewellery when doing household tasks.

✧ Avoid impact with hard surfaces as much as possible.

✧ Make-up, perfume & hairspray all contain chemicals, which may dull the finish of your jewellery.

✧ Coil chains gently to prevent damage in storage, don’t yank or pull chains.
