What You Should Know About Vintage Silver
If you are looking to purchase vintage silver items, you should consider a few things before diving right in. When you buy vintage elements, you aren’t only adding these pieces to your home but also investing. Here are some tips to consider when making your purchase.
-
How does it make you feel? Don’t just buy an item because it’s pretty. Hold the piece and think about how it makes you feel. Can you have this item in your home and look at it all the time and still be happy with it?
-
Will it add to your home’s aesthetics? Now that you have decided to add another antique element to your home, ensure that it goes with what you already own and that it won’t clash with your current decor.
Common Mistakes People Make Regarding Antique Silver Jewellery
While keeping your antique silver jewellery clean is important, you need to remember that harsh chemicals and buffering can also devalue the piece. Here are some tips on how to avoid devaluing your items while caring for them:
-
Ask about the right cleaning agents. If you have never owned antique jewellery, ask the collector about suitable cleaning agents to use. They have vast knowledge about their pieces and can give you valuable advice.
-
Use soft brushes and cloths. Always ensure that whatever cloths and brushes you use to clean your antiques are made from soft materials to avoid scratching your item.
-
Ensure the piece is completely dry. To avoid water damage and spots, once you have cleaned your jewellery, ensure that it is completely dry before wearing or displaying it.
