Emerald and sterling silver earrings

Silver: (Sterling silver is sold as “sterling silver” and usually stamped .925)

Sterling Silver will oxidize over time. (Hair products, perfume, skin oils etc… can cause oxidation as well.) It can be cleaned and repolished with a soft cloth. Do not use jewelry cleaners as they will damage the stones. Pieces can be sealed as long as you avoid the stones. I recommend Renaissance Paste.

Copper

Copper jewelry has been sealed, but will still oxidize. Hairspray, perfume, etc.  can accelerate oxidation. The sealant will wear naturally as the oxidation continues. Cleaning can be done with a soft cloth. Cleaners on copper can remove all of the flame coloration. If you wish to reseal your jewelry I recommend Renaissance Paste.

Brass

Brass jewelry has been sealed, but will still oxidize. Hairspray, perfume, etc. can accelerate oxidation. As the sealant wears away naturally, the oxidation will occur. Brass actually patinas in a beautiful way. Once the polish has worn away it will turn darker and age naturally. If you prefer it to be shiny, I would polish it with a soft cloth and reseal. I recommend Renaissance Paste.

Gold/Silver Colored Wire

This is plated copper wire. Eventually the silver and coloring will wear away. You can slow this process by avoiding chemicals like perfumes hairspray etc… avoid using polish products or buff to clean.  I DO NOT recommend Renaissance Paste for these products
