So I’ve added surgical stainless steel to the choices for earring backs. If you can’t see the option email me and I’ll ‘hook’ you up, pun intended.

Tarnish accumulates over time on all metals, it’s actual a mini chemical reaction between elements in the air and the metal’s surface called oxidisation.
On silver items the sulphur in the air reacts with the compounds in the jewellery and becomes silver sulphide. These tiny specks of black build up to become black all over.
So second up in our easiest ways to clean metals series is silver.
Second Up : Silver
Our tried and tested tip for cleaning silver with only the things you have around the house? Aluminium foil, baking soda and hot water.
First line a heat proof, non-reactive vessel big enough to submerge the metal with aluminium foil. Boil some water. Then add the metal, the boiling water (enough to submerge) and a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for each cup of water. ‘Fresh’ tarnish comes off quickly. But stubborn tarnish can need a bit of a soak, or even a couple of applications for the chemistry to work. Finish with a quick rinse. Note : we only tested this method on sterling. We cannot recommend for other metals. Please do not soak any gemstones, pearls or other non-sterling items.
To make the shine last a little longer, add a coat of any clear wax or even a tiny daub of hair conditioner and buff to a shiny finish.

Inside Wryght Designs
In launching the website I’ve been doing some business soul searching, developing Wryght Designs’ philosophy, defining why the business exists and determining what principles will guide its growth.
Wryght Designs’ values are simple, sustainable, style.
Simple
I’m inspired by the simplicity of minimalist living, Scandinavian style, clean lines, quality materials and classic designers like Charles Eames. At Wryght Designs this is reflected in our clean lined, classic geometric shapes and the transformation from metal sheet into jewellery.
Sustainable
Eco-minimal would probably be the phrase to sum up Wryght Designs’ signature style. I’m inspired by traditional metal smithing techniques but I thrive on turning these into practices requiring only human power. All my tools are ‘off the grid’ and none of my processes involve the use of chemicals.
Style
Let’s not forget why we love jewellery. It’s a powerful accessory that can turn clothes into an outfit, tell the world a little story about our personality and remind us of special occasions and special people in our lives. Wryght Designs jewellery expresses your personality whilst keeping your carbon footprint small and your love large.
