Silver plate must never be cleaned with silver polish. It is always treated with a laquer to resist tarnish. Because the layer of silver is so thin, the abrasives in silver polish will wear through the laquer and even through the electroplated silver. Plate should always be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.

We are indeed able to re-plate silver, but we will need to see the piece for evaluation prior to quoting a cost for the work. After evaluating the piece, we will call you with an estimate for your approval before the work begins. First try hand polishing with a product such as NevrDull, which we sell in 5 ounce cans. If this does not work, the piece may need to be machine polished. Our specially trained polishers can buff this discoloration off sterling for you at a charge of $4.00 per piece.

Lacquered brass should be gently washed with a mild detergent solution, to avoid damaging the lacquer coating. Never use metal polishes or steel wool on it. When the lacquer gets chipped or scratched, the metal underneath will tarnish. Eventually the lacquer will have to be stripped off and the piece re-lacquered. Tung oil will also protect brass from tarnishing, and it doesn't turn dark and is easier to remove than lacquer. Car wax helps too, but doesn't last as long as tung oil.

This means that a silver or gold colour has been applied as a final finish to a base metal component. Any product containing Sterling Silver or 9,14 or 18 carat gold as a plating will be clearly identifiable, as will any item made purely from a precious metal.

Not in house, however, if you have polishing and plating, we would be more than happy to send the plating out for you. We can also prep for plating, usually by special request. If your part needs more attention to detail (nooks and crannies prepped perfect, or ‘especially’ flat surfaces) than the guys at the plating shop can give it, we would then do the pre-polish. This can be a little bit more cost on average, but it will be ‘super’ show quality.

Restricting your food intake too much leaves you hungry and downright irritable. (You know that!) When you restrict calories, such as when you start a traditional "diet" or skip meals, the body instantly goes into "survival mode" and sends very powerful signals, telling your body to hoard fat and your brain to find food fast. Right now! Why? Because it thinks it's starving, and it doesn't know when it will get food again.

Until August of 2003 we offered silver jewelry as either "Natural" or "Rhodium" finished. A natural finish is simply a high polish which brings out the natural luster of fine silver (.925). All regular natural silver jewelry requires routine maintenance to remove tarnish and restore the finish. Rhodium plating is a complex and labor intensive process to effectively enhance the luster and prolong the beauty of silver or white gold. Rhodium is one of the platinum family metals.
