How do I clean sterling silver? TOP
How do I clean copper? TOP
Copper quickly turns from a shiny orange-brown to a deep chocolate
color. Exposure to air and light speed this process. Leave your piece
out if you want it to tarnish quickly. Otherwise, store it in its own
Ziploc® bag.
- To clean tarnish: Soak in a mixture of pure lemon juice and salt
for 5-10 seconds. After removing the bracelet from the mixture, lather
with non-lotion dishwashing soap and water, and rub the jewelry briskly
but gently between your palms. Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with a towel
or use a blow dryer on lowest setting. Make sure the piece is fully dry
before you return it to its ziploc® bag.

What is chainmaille? TOP
Chainmaille (also known as chainmail, or simply maille) is typically armor or jewelry made by connecting metal rings to one another. The word maille derives from the French word maille (mesh), which comes from Latin macula (mesh of a net). Creating something out of maille involves a few steps:
Wrap metal wire around a rod to make a coil.
Cut the coil, creating individual "jump rings."
Using pliers, link the rings—one at a time—into a pattern.
