Jewellery Care and Handling

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Dear jewellery is a precious collection, a daily essential for all jewellery lovers. If you wish your gems, crystal, pearls, silver to remain sparkle and become the admiration and attraction among your friends and colleagues, do not fail to protect and cherish them. In order for the lovely piece to last, it is worth being properly taken care of. The following are some care & handling tips that we offer to you.

  • Remove your jewellery once you are at home.
  • Clean the jewellery with a dry cloth unless otherwise as advised on the care instruction stated by the jewellery seller.
  • Keep all your jewellery in an airtight container or zip lock bag if possible, else a closed jewellery box is advisable.
  • Never leave/store your jewellery in the bathroom especially silver jewellery as metals and some gems are afraid of damp.
  • It is necessary to keep your jewellery away from heat and sunlight as they may make your jewellery loses its original color.
  • No-Tarnish Strips – put no-tarnish strips in with your jewelleries and change the strips every two to three months.
  • Chalk – another substitute of no-tarnish strips is Chalk.  Put a few pieces of chalkboard chalk in with your jewellery. The chalk works similarly to the strips, absorbing the airborne substances that cause tarnish. Chalk should also be changed every couple of months.
  • Silver Tarnish Cloth – wrap your jewellery with Silver Tarnish Cloth, also known as Pacific Cloth, which is available at any fabric stores.  It also works well too if you cut pieces of it to fit inside the drawers or compartment of your jewellery box.
  • Quick Wipedown – give each piece of jewellery a quick wipe with a Sunshine cloth or other jewelry cleaning/polishing cloth after wearing it. This will help remove dirt/things that settled on the surface of your jewellery while it was out of its closed storage, and this will help prevent tarnish from forming.

Cufflink Designer Reviews

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

New styles of cufflinks and seasonal ties start hitting the streets around this time of the year as we head into serious autumn, so a few reviews and recommendations won’t go astray.

We’ve noted some of our favourite brands and their contributions to celebrate autumn and approaching winter.

Inventive Cufflinks

Heart and Kiss cufflinks, created in kindness, a special gift for remembrance, special occasions, or reaffirming your vows, there can be a thousand reasons for offering, or just a spontaneous action, a pleasant surprise. And cufflinks of this sort are not reserved for men alone; women too express admiration for these miniature pieces of jewellery.

Autumn Celebration Beech Leaves Silk Tie

Seasons come and go; styles evolve, spring forward, fall back, shorter days. There is always something new to temp your desires. Burnt Umber reflects the hues of autumn as it covers the ground. The silver skeletons of beech leaves as their colour fade into the bleak grey winter. Nature is constant inspiration.

Classicism

This deserves the label “classic style” a description phrase too often used out of context. Inspect closely the form, colour and geometric pattern, do they not bring to mind classical form. Merely the choice of materials does not warrant classification, a combination of all, gold or silver, and, enamel, but not forgetting form, taken from Greek and Roman architectural embellishments and transformed into jewellery.

From Badge To Button

The London Badge And Button Company, still making buttons, still making badges, there is ribbon and gold naval lace too. Now in residence in the Famous Birmingham Jewellery district, they’re churning out award winning cufflink designs, softly, softly. We have featured many styles, and the styles just keep coming, so there is plenty of things to write about and lovely images of beautifully formed cufflinks.

Michelsons Silk Ties

Michelsons London has been making fine neckwear since 1937. Times have changed, but stylish qualities remain constant thanks in part to high tech mechanics that just add precision. Although the human hand still plays a roll in making each piece, it is the machine that deserves praise, and is responsible for the accuracy and consistent quality of Michelson’s ties

A Golden Cufflink

Gold, conjures opulence, purity, wealth, stability, exotic. Captured then in this miniature item of fine jewellery, the hands of time, knowledge and craft passed down over centuries through many generations concluding in modern day bespoke. All that you expect of the inheritance of gold is combined with the other age old tradition in jewellery; Enamelling.

Sunburst Cufflinks Bespoke

Cheerfully vibrant and truly Bespoke, if you’re prepared to wait 6 to 8 weeks you can own a pair of these sterling silver enamel cufflinks, made to order, individualized. Or a pair of laser cut cufflinks, still hand enamelled, but produced more on mass without sacrificing quality. What ever you choose, cufflinks are ideal gifting, one size fits all.

A New Silk Tie As An Add On

Before we return to the feature on Alluring Cufflinks, here is one of our own new styles that compliment any collection, and, perfect companions for Ian Flaherty Cufflinks, especially the ones below. Handmade in England from English silks.

New Cufflinks Important Notice

We thought to interrupt our special feature on Lbb London, because the new range of Ian Flaherty Cufflinks has just arrived and a worthy interruption to any tail. We have so many new styles that our blog could become and epilogue. This aside there is ties to compliment. Inspiration can come from anywhere, at any time, ask any designer.

The Classics

Cufflinks espouse centuries through various designs: art deco at the end of 19th century, extravagant in the period 1940-1950, eccentric in 1960 with Hollywood stars and whimsical today. Fashion/Style contrary to a revolution, it is a constant evolution and the classics always return to centre stage.

Colour In Cufflinks

The second in our special feature on alluring cufflinks: The finite detail of hand enamelling is evident in this little gem. It’s reassuring that in a world of more, faster, quicker and mass production, skilful hands are still at work creating treasured works of art in all forms of jewellery: “Precise, colourful and cheerful”.

Gunmetal Cufflinks

The second in our special feature on alluring cufflinks: Solid metal portrays a degree of masculine strength; using gunmetal adds a sense of power, and, for depth and subtly, rhodium. We can only assume the designers intent, and like songs we read in to them what ever we feel at the time. It’s just nice to elaborate a little and express our views. One thing is for certain this cufflink conjures rugged and subtle beauty, as depicted in its dramatic shapes and contrasting textures of black and silver.

Welcome to the home of finely crafted designer ties and cufflinks handmade.
