Caring for your silver

 

Here are some tips to care for your silver and prevent tarnishing (especially when at the coast):

 

Tip 1: Dry silver is happy silver

Pure water by itself doesn't damage sterling silver, but most of the water we're exposed to in our daily lives is not purified. Therefore, to keep your silver sparkling white, avoid: showering, washing your face, swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs, and swimming in the sea when wearing your silver jewellery. 

​

​

Tip 2: Apply Perfumes & Lotions FIRST

Perfumes & Lotions can also cause your jewellery to tarnish, so ideally apply your perfumes and lotions first, let them dry, and then put your jewellery on. This alone can make a huge difference to your silver's luster. 

​

​

Tip 3: Maintain proper storage

Even air exposure can tarnish jewellery - so it's best not leave your jewellery on your nightstand or in an open jewellery chest. Keep them sealed in boxes. (For best results, use air tight zip lock bags)

​

​

Tip 4: Know when to take off your jewellery

I know you love your gorgeous jewellery, and I know it can be hard to take those babies off/on again. But, it's critical to remove your jewellery sometimes. For example:

• During Household chores (dishes/laundry/when using cleaning supplies)

• During exercise, gym, contact sports (due to sweat)

• When showering or bathing

• when sunbathing! (yes, harsh sun can be cruel to our silver jewellery)

• When getting ready (perfumes, lotions, makeup, hair products)

• when cooking, preparing or eating foods that contain sulfur (this includes eggs & mayonnaise)

• Outside chores (e.g. gardening)

​

​

Tip 5: Polish it pretty

Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down your jewellery. Ensure to use different parts of the cloth to avoid spreading any tarnsih. Do not use circular motions, as it can make the tarnish worse. For more detailed parts of the jewellery, use a Q-Tip.
