Yes. Frequently, we attempt to explain the facts of silver artisanship to customers seeking impeccable perfection in the sterling silver they buy. In reality, such perfection can be achieved only in assembly line products.
Of course, this is not possible or even desirable in quality ware whose manufacture depends so much on the Italian skill and artistry of individual craftsmen. Slight variations in sterling silver pieces are actually proof of fine crafting. Most customers who appreciate fine sterling silver understand this.

Vermeil is a fine double-plating of 24 karat gold over sterling silver. It produces a lustrous gold finish, sometimes used to emphasize detail.

Patina is a natural effect of use and age on a surface finish. Most commonly, the patina on sterling silver is a result of tiny, almost invisible scratches that eventually merge and form a new shiny finish. A rich patina of sterling silver enhances its beauty over time.

Caterina Collezione recommends that you use your silver often.
-
Frequently used silver requires the least amount of care and special attention, and develops the desired effect of patina brought about by age and use. Except for knives, most silver can be placed in the dishwasher, but never leave silver in the dishwasher drying cycle to dry.
-
However, it is better to wash your silver by hand in hot, sudsy water as soon as possible after use. Rinse well in clear hot water and hand dry immediately and thoroughly. For silver that is tarnished, clean with a good quality silver polish, using a recommended polishing cloth.
-
Avoid using dip polish and electrolytic cleaning as they contain harsh chemicals.
-
-
-
Silver should be kept absolutely dry. If your silver is used occasionally, keep it away from extreme exposure to air and store it in a tarnish-proof cloth or a silver storage box.
Good storage boxes are lined with tarnish-proof fabric and have a separate space for each individual piece. If your climate is humid, place a small packet of desiccant crystals inside your storage area, whether it is a closed box or a flannel roll.
Avoid contact with rubber bands or rubber products. The sulfur in rubber causes tarnishing and corrosion.
