Molten Sterling Crucible Pour

Care & Longevity.925 Atelier Standard

Preserving the brilliance of handmade silver.

Crafted to last generations. Follow our silversmith care directives or access our complimentary lifetime workshop services.

Pure .925 sterling silver naturally interacts with air and moisture. Consistent, gentle maintenance preserves its mirror finish and delicate chisel details.

Methodology & Guidelines

  • Use only lint-free 100% microfibre or specialized jeweler's rouge polishing cloths.
  • Rub along the grain of the silver rather than in circular motions to avoid micro-scratches.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and mild, phosphate-free soap before patting dry with clean cotton.
  • Avoid abrasive toothpastes, baking soda pastes, or industrial liquid dips which strip intentional patina.
Craft Recommendation: Polish after every 15 wear cycles or whenever exposure to humidity occurs.
