In caring for your Stanley Lewis cufflinks it is important to understand the different components used in creation.

The fixtures on all Stanley Lewis cufflinks are hand made of sterling silver, that is, 92.5% silver. Pure silver is too soft, so copper is added to strengthen and give the jewel greater durability. Copper is the best alloy for silver as it strengthens without interrupting the silver’s lustrous color.

Sterling silver will tarnish and scratch if not cared for properly. Tarnish must be removed regularly to keep the jewel looking like new. Periodically polish your silver using a polishing cloth but be careful if you choose to use sterling silver dips as they may rub off the color. For a quick and effective solution, dilute a mixture of mild dishwashing liquid and water but make sure you dry the jewel thoroughly and no traces of moisture are left. This process will keep your stones or gems radiant too. Regularly check the claws of your cufflinks to ensure all stones are secure.

All Stanley Lewis jewels are presented in a genuine leather box, each hand made by one of Italy’s finest craftsmen. Inside, the box is lined with luxurious suede equipped with a fixture to secure your cufflinks for protective storage. Remember, prolonged, unprotected storage is generally when tarnishing and scratching occurs.
