JEWELLERY CARE GUIDE
As CASPER LAND jewellery has a 925 Sterling Silver composition, when not being worn it's important to store your pieces separately in a dry, cool, humidity-free environment and out of direct sunlight. This will prevent the oxidisation process that can happen on the surface of silver jewellery (commonly seen as a black, pink or orange build-up) and prevent your gold-plated pieces from fading.
To ensure your jewellery stays in excellent condition, remove it before swimming, showering, cleaning and exercising (particularly gold-plated styles)
Avoid contact with cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, hand sanitisers, chlorine & salt water, as these can damage and tarnish fine jewellery items.
HOW TO CLEAN STERLING SILVER JEWELLERY AT HOME
Step 1: Line Your Bowl with Foil
Line a small bowl with aluminium foil—shiny side up.
This is what helps create the chemical reaction that lifts the tarnish.
Step 2: Add the Bicarb Soda
Pour in enough bicarbonate soda to fully cover your jewellery.
Step 3: Bury Your Jewellery
Place your jewellery in the bowl and gently bury it under the bicarb.
Step 4: Pour Over Boiling Water
Carefully pour boiling water into the bowl.
Watch it fizz—the science is working to loosen the grime and tarnish.
Step 5: Let It Sit & Stir Occasionally
Let the piece soak for around 10 minutes, using a spoon to stir now and then while keeping the bicarb covering the item.
Step 6: Exfoliate the Tarnish Away
Once the water’s cooled enough to touch, scoop some of the paste from the bottom and rub it into your piece with fingers or a soft toothbrush.
Massage away that tarnish. For stubborn spots and areas of discolouration, give it some extra love, as if you're exfoliating the surface with the paste. Eventually the silver will return to it's original colour!
Step 7: Rinse & Dry Thoroughly
Rinse your piece under warm water and pat it completely dry with a soft towel.
Moisture = tarnish’s best friend. No thanks.
Step 8: Polish to Finish
Buff the piece in small circular motions using a polishing cloth.
This is the moment it goes from clean to gleaming!
HANDBAG CARE GUIDE
We suggest caring for your faux leather handbag by following these instructions:
- Avoid rough surfaces and water as much as possible. We recommend when your piece is not in use that you store it inside it's dust bag, stuffed to maintain it's shape, and out of direct sunlight for protection.
- For leathers, spot cleaning using baby wipes is a great way to clean off superficial marks and dirt!
- For man-made nubuck or suede pieces, first, brush away surface dirt with a clean suede brush or a clean toothbrush. Baby wipes can also be used on dirt marks if needed, however avoid scrubbing and overly wetting the fabric as this can damage the surface of the material or strip the colour.
- We recommend caution when wearing light-coloured bags against darker clothing, such as dark denim or black garments, as the dye from your clothing may transfer onto your bag.
