We’re often asked the best
way of cleaning and storing cremation
ash jewellery UK so it’s about time I wrote a blog about it. There’s a
great blog from Mora Pandora about Cleaning and Storing your memorial jewellery UK, so if you own a
Pandora bracelet that’s worth a read! The blog says that most Pandora charms
and bracelets have a patina, also known as oxidation, which gives the antique
silver effect. This can be rubbed away with harsh silver cleaners and the same
applies to the iconic Ashes Urns Jewellery brand stamp on our memorial charms
for Pandora bracelets.
We recommend using a special
cleaning cloth like the Town Talk Anti Tarnish Silver Polishing Cloth on the
metal part if it needs brightening, but don’t rub too hard or the patina may
come out. You can clean our Keepsake memorial jewellery with an old
toothbrush and a tiny bit of washing up liquid (dish soap) but don’t soak
anything with resin as it can degrade the plastic. You can see our page on
resin jewellery care here for more information on caring for the resin, buffing
out scratches, etc. Cleaning and storing keepsake
jewellery ashes is important to keep the pieces looking their best for the
longest.
Cleaning and
Storing Memorial Jewellery
Your cremation jewelry for ashes UK can be professionally polished but
please ask them to cover any resin or glass before using any tripoli, rouge, or
other abrasives and pastes. We are more than happy to polish any items
purchased from us free of charge if you cover the cost of postage to us and to
return it Special Delivery, but due to the cost of postage, we recommend you
support a local small jewellery business for best results and speed. They may
want to know what sort of silver or gold we use; our bubble band rings are
Argentium silver (slightly purer than 925 sterling, they are between 935 and
960), our other ring bands are recycled sterling known as EcoSilver and all are
brazed with hard and medium sterling solder paste (occasionally easy solder
paste). Our sterling silver Ashes Urns Jewellery charm cores, available since
2016, are 925 purity stamped silver.
Polishing Solid
Gold Memorial Rings
We recommend our 14ct gold
hallmarked rings are polished professionally to avoid damage to the bezel cup
and cabochon (stone). We suggest using a local jeweller who can provide the
service whilst you wait due to the high value and sentimentality of the ring.
Storing Memorial
Jewellery
For long term storage of
keepsake and memorial jewellery we suggest an Anti Tarnish Bag which will keep
it clean and prevent tarnishing. Many clients say that they place their whole
Pandora bracelet in one at night and whilst they shower and bathe, swim, and do
other activities like gardening.
