Caring for Filigree Chandelier Earrings: A Guide to Sterling Silver

Chandelier Earrings are the hottest accessory this year and they
are here to stay. At EarringsETC.com we only sell handmade
earrings in a technique called Mompox Filigree. We use Sterling
silver on all of our earrings because it is easy to work with
when making filigreed chandelier earrings.  Most people do not
know that sterling silver is also too delicate of a material
that needs to be care for on a regular basis. Because of its
chemical nature, sterling silver tarnishes over time.
Perspiration from humans and contact with other elements can
accelerate this process.

How to clean your Filigreed Chandelier Earrings

Your piece of jewelry can be clean in several ways using a
delicate brush:

- Hot water with salt and lemon

- Hot water and baking soda

- Hot water and detergent (with no bleach)

- Brush it with toothpaste

- Jewelry and glass cleaner

Whatever the method of cleaning you choose for your chandelier
earrings, follow it by rinsing with clean water and completely
dry your filigree with a hair drier or exposing it to the sun.
Remember to maintain your silver jewelry away from other silver
jewelry preferably on a pouch. When wearing your filigreed
chandelier earrings please keep contact with perfumes, lotions,
oils, make up and other chemical substances at a minimum or
clean your filigreed chandelier earrings on a regular basis.
