How do I care for my sterling silver jewelry?
Wearing Sterling Silver Jewelry
In general, you should avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals, extreme temperatures, swimming pools and intense sunlight. Also, be aware that sterling silver does scratch, so be cautious of jewelry getting nicked or scratched when wearing.Storing Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver, when exposed to open air and humidity for long periods of time will tend to tarnish very quickly. To prevent tarnishing of sterling silver, keep your sterling silver jewelry away from moisture. This can be done by keeping them in the gift box I provide or in plastic zip lock bag.Conversely, if you like the darkened, aged and oxidized look which is created by exposing sterling silver jewelry to open air and humidity and by natural wear, you do not need to worry about storing it in a moisture-free environment.
Cleaning Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver jewelry should be cleaned regularly in mildly warm, sudsy water. Simply dip the piece and agitate, rinse off well and pat dry with a soft clean cloth. You can also use a polish cloth from a local jewelry shop, bead shop or local store.Back to FAQs
