The beauty of heirloom jewelry comes from both the piece’s physical loveliness as well as from the story the piece tells. As a piece of jewelry is passed down through the generations, there is emotional resonance as the jewelry provides a connection from one generation to another. Vintage and heirloom jewelry have become increasingly popular, whether it is actually inherited from a family member or purchased from a jeweler.
One member of the Kingswood team, Heather Brown, has a number of heirloom pieces left to her by her grandmother, who knew they would be meaningful to her. They provide a special connection to the family’s past, while also being unique. Vintage pieces stand out, offering a look that varies from current trends.
One special and unusual piece is a gold charm bracelet with football, basketball and baseball charms. Each commemorates a special winning game during her grandfather’s Naval Academy playing and coaching career. An avid sports fan, Heather wears the bracelet often as a good luck charm for her kids’ games or her favorite college team. So, she needs to keep it shining for the luck to hold!
Heather cares for this piece, using a Kingswood Professional Polishing Cloth. The non-rouge inner cloth is safe for the aged gold charms, and the outer cloth buffs them to a shine.

See for yourself how much tarnish was removed from Heather’s gold charms!
Heather recently found another piece of jewelry in a box of her grandmother’s. It is an intricate, silver, art deco necklace. When she found it, it was completely tarnished, but now that she has restored its shine, she plans to wear it as a statement piece this fall
To remove years of tarnish, Heather used a Silver Jewelry Cleaner and a Professional Polishing Cloth.
