Living With Your Sayre Piece
Sayre pieces are designed to be worn often, lived in fully, and returned to again and again.
Each piece is made in .925 sterling silver, a material that naturally evolves with time. As it's worn, silver may develop a patina — a soft darkening or change in finish that reflects touch, movement, and the life of the piece.
This natural evolution is part of the material’s character. With thoughtful care, your Sayre piece can be worn and kept for years to come.
Everyday Care
To preserve the finish of your piece:
- Store it in a dry place when not in use.
- Keep it away from prolonged contact with water, fragrance, lotions, oils, and household chemicals.
- Remove it before swimming, bathing, exercising, or sleeping.
- Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces that may scratch or alter the finish.
Cleaning Your Piece
To restore the natural shine of sterling silver, gently polish your piece with a soft silver polishing cloth.
For a deeper clean, use a small amount of mild soap and warm water. Gently rinse and dry the piece completely with a soft cloth before storing.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, and polishing tools, as these may affect the surface and finish of the piece.
Patina
Sterling silver is a living material and will naturally develop a patina over time.
Some may choose to preserve this darker, more personal finish, while others may prefer to polish the piece back to its original brightness. Both are part of the life of silver.
Storage
When not in use, store your piece individually in its Sayre pouch or in a soft, dry space. Keeping pieces separate will help prevent scratching, tangling, and unnecessary contact with other materials.
A Note on Wear
Because Sayre pieces are sculptural in form, they should be handled with care. Avoid bending, pulling, or applying excessive pressure to the piece.
With wear, your piece will become uniquely yours — holding the quiet evidence of time, touch, and ritual.
