A beautiful made in the Britain locket, with a hand engraved butterfly and flowers design to the front, and space inside for two photos of loved ones. The locket carries a full UK hallmark on the reverse. Purchase the locket without a chain, or with one of our great quality sterling silver figaro chains.

The locket is part of our Made in Birmingham collection - a special piece hand made by a traditional British manufacturing jeweller in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.

Butterfly Symbolism

From small caterpillars, mighty butterflies grow! The image of the butterfly symbolises endurance, change, hope and life.

Yes it probably will. Sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold both develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent
• Perspiration & Humidity (this one can be difficult to avoid)

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold.

If the tarnish is heavy or stubborn, a clean with a Cape Cod fine metal polishing cloth first (these are wet), followed by the dry Town Talk cloth afterwards, can work wonders.

Always clean your jewellery gently and sparingly. Never polish plated jewellery - clean with a microfibre cloth only. Treat white gold as plated jewellery and be cautious with rose gold. Sterling silver plated in rhodium will also not polish well.

If you are struggling to remove stubborn tarnish, we are always happy to clean jewellery purchased from us provided you cover the postage in both directions. Please send us a friendly email to let us know.
