Natural skin oils help prevent tarnish, so wearing your pieces regularly can keep them looking polished.
Exposure to chemicals can cause discoloration. Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or using products like lotions, perfumes, and household cleaners.
When not in use, keep your silver jewelry in a dry, cool place. Store each piece in a soft pouch or anti-tarnish cloth to prevent oxidation.
Polishing: Use a soft microfiber or jewelry polishing cloth to remove light tarnish. Avoid tissues or paper towels, as they can scratch the surface.
Mild Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then gently rub with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
Removing Tarnish: If tarnish develops, use a silver cleaning solution or a homemade paste of baking soda and water. Apply gently, rinse well, and dry.
Sterling silver is malleable and can scratch or bend with force. Avoid rough handling and store delicate pieces separately to prevent damage.
