How To Care for Your Jewellery

Here are some essential tips for keeping your jewellery beautiful

Wear Your Jewellery Often

Believe it or not, wearing your sterling silver jewellery regularly helps prevent tarnish. The natural oils in your skin create a protective barrier that slows oxidation.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Exposure to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, chlorine, and household cleaners can cause silver to tarnish quickly. Put your jewellery on after applying cosmetics and avoid wearing it in swimming pools or hot tubs.

Store Properly

When not in use, store your sterling silver jewellery in an airtight container, jewellery box, or anti-tarnish pouch to prevent exposure to air and moisture. Keeping individual pieces separate will also prevent scratches.

Clean Regularly

To maintain its luster, clean your silver jewellery regularly using a soft polishing cloth or a mild soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly before storing.

Use a Silver Polish for Deep Cleaning

For stubborn tarnish, use a silver polish or a homemade paste of baking soda and water. Gently rub the polish onto the jewellery with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry completely.

Remove Before Activities

To prevent unnecessary wear and damage, remove your jewellery before exercising, showering, or doing household chores.

Be Mindful of Humidity

High humidity can accelerate tarnishing. Using silica gel packets or anti-tarnish strips in your jewellery storage can help absorb excess moisture.
