Do's and Don't of titanium jewellery
Ø Bangles with inlays cannot be pulled open and pushed closed, as this will force the inlay out.
Ø Rings should not be dipped in silver cleaner as the acid could collect under the inlay and ooze out slowly.
Ø Rings may be cleaned with a jewellery cloth or by using silvo or brasso, tarnished silver can be wiped bright again with a rough cloth.
Ø After showing a customer a silver and titanium inlay ring, it should be wiped before going back in the showcase - this will stop tarnishing.
Ø The silver inlays in rings and bangles will only usually tarnish if they are not being worn - the natural rubbing when being worn keeps them tarnish free.
Ø Perfumes, after shaves and chemicals may tarnish the silver.
Ø The fine satin brush finish can be put back quite easily with fine grit sandpaper - (p400) or with a brillo scourer. Work in one direction only.
Ø Rings can be made with a high polish - this costs slightly more and the precious metal and titanium can end up slightly different heights.
Ø As with all handmade jewellery tolerances are not 100%. Widths and sizes on specials and orders can have a 0.1mm - 0.2mm tolerance variant on wall thickness.
