The tarnished patina (as seen in pictures) on this sterling silver piece adds a unique and vintage-inspired look.  Please note that this is a natural characteristic of the metal and may vary slightly.  

While cleaning the silver with a gentle polishing cloth can enhance its shine, it will also remove the patina. If you prefer a polished look, please be aware that this will alter the item's aged aesthetic.
