Jewelry Care
A Guide to Care.
Your No 7 Cape Town pieces are crafted from premium 925 sterling silver, designed to be a lasting part of your signature look. To ensure their enduring brilliance, we recommend a simple ritual of care.
Daily Wear
Sterling silver loves to be worn. The natural oils in your skin actually help prevent tarnishing. However, we highly advise removing your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean, showering, or engaging in strenuous physical activities.
Cosmetics & Perfumes
Chemicals can dull the brilliance of your silver. Make it a rule of thumb: your jewelry should be the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night. Always allow perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays to dry completely before adorning your pieces.
The Ritual of Cleaning
To restore its natural shine, gently polish your jewelry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or commercial silver dips, as these can permanently damage the delicate finish and surface of the silver.
The Sanctuary
Proper storage is crucial to prevent oxidation. When not being worn, store your silver in a cool, dry place. We recommend keeping each piece separated in its original No 7 Cape Town soft pouch or a sealed, airtight box to protect against scratching and tarnishing.
The Nature of 925 Silver
It is entirely natural for 925 sterling silver to slightly oxidize or tarnish over time when exposed to the air and environment. This is not a defect, but rather a characteristic of genuine silver. With regular wear and the gentle care outlined above, your jewelry will maintain its pristine, quiet luxury finish for years to come.
