Upkeep
Silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to oxygen. To restore the jewelry’s shine, gently rub it with the jewelry cleaning cloth available from Le Vivoir.
- Store the jewelry in a small airtight Ziploc-style bag when it is not being worn to slow oxidation.
- The more often silver jewelry is worn, the more slowly visible oxidation tends to develop.
The artist
Jocelyne Veilleux
Saint-Valier
I always knew I would work with my hands. Still very young, I made clothes, I knitted, I painted and I sculpted.
Life made me want to try jewelry. So I went to a Montreal jeweler, without too much expectation, to become an apprentice. It was the start of a new passion; jewelry!
It was with this master jeweler that I discovered the work of precious metals such as silver and gold which can be decorated with pearls and stones.
After three very instructive and stimulating years, I started my own line of jewelry. It was, in all humility, an instant success.
For more than 30 years now, I have been making series of jewelry from my imagination. Often inspired by nature and organic shapes, the jewelry artist's jewelry is entirely designed by hand.
