A sterling silver marcasite watch is more than something you wear to tell the time. It is a piece of jewellery, carefully crafted with detail, texture, and character. With the right care, it can remain beautiful for years and become a piece you continue to cherish.
At Silverline & Co, our watches are made with 925 sterling silver, natural marcasite stones, and carefully selected decorative materials such as freshwater pearls, black onyx, African garnet, and cubic zirconia. These materials are beautiful, but they also deserve gentle care.
Keep Your Watch Away From Water
Although many watches are designed to handle light everyday moisture, sterling silver and natural stones should not be exposed to water unnecessarily. Water, humidity, soap, and chemicals can affect the appearance of silver and may weaken delicate stone settings over time.
We recommend removing your watch before showering, swimming, washing dishes, exercising, or sleeping.
Avoid Perfume, Lotions, and Chemicals
Perfume, hairspray, hand cream, cleaning products, and other chemicals can dull the finish of sterling silver and affect natural stones. To protect your watch, apply perfume and skincare first, allow them to dry, and then put your jewellery on last.
This simple habit helps preserve the shine, detail, and overall appearance of your piece.
Clean Gently With a Soft Cloth
Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time. This is normal and part of the nature of silver. To keep your watch looking its best, gently polish the silver areas with a soft silver polishing cloth.
Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive cloths, ultrasonic cleaners, or soaking the watch in liquid. Marcasite and natural stones are delicate and should always be treated with care.
Store It Properly
When you are not wearing your watch, store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping it in its box or a soft pouch helps protect it from scratches, dust, and unnecessary exposure to air.
If possible, avoid storing sterling silver pieces in the bathroom, as humidity can speed up tarnishing.
Treat It as Jewellery, Not Just a Watch
A Silverline & Co watch is designed to be worn and enjoyed, but it should be cared for like fine jewellery. The intricate details, hand-set stones, and sterling silver finish are what make each piece special.
With gentle handling and thoughtful care, your watch can continue to hold its beauty, charm, and story over time.
Each piece tells a story and becomes part of yours.
