A cross pendant in sterling silver with the serenity prayer engraved and oxidised to the front:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The Serenity Prayer is one of the most widely used prayers in the English-speaking world, closely associated with 12-step recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, though it's used far beyond that context too.

It's generally attributed to the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, who is believed to have first written it in the 1930s or 1940s. Its appeal comes from its simplicity: it's a short meditation on distinguishing between what we can and cannot control, and finding peace with that distinction.

A great unisex item of jewellery with a meaningful message.

Sterling silver and 9ct yellow/rose gold develop tarnish: the product of a chemical reaction. This can happen quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured, patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away.

Tarnish happens to all un-plated silver and gold, but tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture, Perspiration & Humidity
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow or rose gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold. Please do not use these cloths on gold plated jewellery.

If the tarnish is heavy or stubborn, a clean with a wet Cape Cod Fine Metal Polishing Cloth first, followed by the dry Town Talk cloth afterwards, can work wonders.

You can pick up all these cloths for a few pounds on eBay and Amazon.

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.
