Question 4

How do i clean my coin jewellery/coin rings ?

Accepted Answer

As with all coins over time and usage they will go slightly dull,  to clean we suggest using a soft bristle brush like a child's toothbrush with warm water and a little mild detergent like dish soap,  then buff with a jewellery cloth or clean cotton cloth,   you may also use an ultra sonic machine if you have one, if your coin jewellery is silver you can also use a bit of silvo.

Question 5

Does the coin art contain nickel?

Accepted Answer

UK coins after 1946 likely contain nickel, as do many foreign coins. We seal our rings with jeweller's sealer, but this is temporary and can wear off. You can reapply clear nail varnish to prevent reactions. If you experience itching or a rash, remove the item and reseal it or stop wearing it. For more info, contact us at info@spenditorwearit.com.
