Oxidised Silver and Copper

Any piece of oxidised silver or copper will be prone to wear, as it is a surface patina. However this can add to the surface and represent your relationship with the object. Alternatively the oxidised finish can be re-applied if you wish. Please contact Melissa if you wish to arrange for an item to be re-oxidised. For general day-to-day care the colour can be maintained by using Renaissance wax, which should be gently applied with a soft cloth and any residue carefully polished off. Please be sure only to use a soft cloth that is not impregnated with any kind of jewellery cleaning substance as this will further remove the oxidisation. You can wash the oxidised item with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, however you are advised not to use any kind of abrasive cloth on the oxidised surface.
