Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time, but regular wear and polishing help keep it bright. It is generally fine to wear in water if it is cleaned and dried properly afterwards. To maintain its shine, avoid prolonged contact with harsh chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products. Store in a dry, airtight pouch or box when not in use, and polish occasionally with a soft silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. While our packaging is ideal for travel, we don’t recommend using it for long-term storage of your Tyger pieces, as it is not airtight.

Gold plated jewellery has a layer of 18ct gold over brass and requires gentle care to preserve the plating and increase longevity. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and chemicals, as these can cause the plating to fade faster. Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, or exercising. Store in a dry, airtight pouch or jewellery box and clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or polishing cloths intended for solid metals.
