Daily Care Tips for Silver Jewellery

Wear Your Jewellery

The easiest way to prevent sterling silver jewellery from tarnishing is to wear it regularly. When you wear your jewellery, it gently rubs against your skin and your clothes, helping to keep the silver shining. 

Avoid Chemicals

Avoid contact with household chemicals and everyday substances like perfumes. these can cause tarnish and can damage the metal. To reduce exposure to other chemicals, apply makeup and lotions before putting on your silver jewellery and allow them to dry completely. 

Remove Before Activities

Almost remove your silver jewellery before taking a shower, swimming or doing chores around the house. Substances such as chlorine, saltwater and sweat will speed up the tarnishing process. 

 

How to Clean Silver Jewellery

Silver Polishing Cloth

Use a high-quality silver polishing cloth that helps to remove tarnish and restore its shine. Gently rub the jewellery with the cloth but not in circles to avoid scratching. 

 

How to Store Silver Jewellery

Jewellery Storage

Store in a cool and dry place, preferably in a sealed plastic bag or in the original packaging. This reduces exposure to air, humidity and moisture. 

 

Anti-Tarnish Strips

Putting an anti-tarnish strip or silica gel packet in your jewellery storage box will absorb the moisture and prevent tarnishing. 

 

Separating Each Piece

Make sure to keep each piece of jewellery separate to avoid scratches. Use a storage box with separate compartments or individual soft cloth pouches to avoid tangles.
