Avoiding conflict diamonds
The term “conflict diamond” applies to diamonds sold in order to raise money to support terrorist groups, rebel insurgents or brutal governments acting illegally and repressively. It’s also a way of money-laundering. Go to the Amnesty International site to find out more, and read the Action Update to find out what questions to ask when buying diamonds.

Caring for silver jewellery
How you store your silver jewellery will make the most difference to how long it stays looking beautiful. Over time, your shiny silver starts to look dull as it reacts with gases in the air. Keep it in a cool, dry place, preferably with each piece wrapped in a cloth to protect it from scratches, as well as to cut down contact with the air. It’s best kept in the dark, since silver doesn’t react well to extended exposure to light.

Clean your silver jewellery regularly and carefully with a special silver polishing cloth or liquid polish. Mild detergent mixed with lots of water can clean your jewellery gently and effectively – but make sure you dry each piece very thoroughly.
