How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry

Sterling silver jewelry is beautiful and timeless, but it needs proper care to maintain its brilliance. Follow these simple tips:

  1. Prevent Oxidation: Sterling silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to the elements. Remove your jewelry before exercising, washing your hands, showering, or swimming.
  2. Apply Products First: Always apply perfumes, lotions, and hair care products before wearing your jewelry to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.
  3. Polish Regularly: For tarnished jewelry, gently clean with a silver polishing cloth to restore its shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials.
  4. Store with Care: When not in use, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container or pouch, to protect it from moisture and daily exposure.
