How to take care of my jewellery? 
Sterling silver is soft metal that tarnish over time. Therefore it is essential to take appropriate care of your jewellery.
 
Tendai Jewellery recommends keeping your jewellery in provided presentation boxes to avoid scratches and twists. Please remove you rings for any house works, swimming or showering.
 
Some perfume, detergents and chemicals can accelerate the tarnish process. Please do not use any dips to clean the jewellery. To bring the shine of silver use anti tarnish cleaning cloth available in our shop to clean or wash the jewellery in water with washing up liquid with soft brush, rinse thoroughly and polish with very soft cloth.
  
 
Can I buy a necklace without a chain?
Most of the necklaces consist of a pendant and attachable 40cm silver chain. If this is the case we can provide the pendant on its own. This will reduce the price of the necklace by £8.00. If you would like to purchase a pendant on its own please make an appropriate comment in the comment window or email us and we will subtract £8.00 from the value of the necklace.
