Care instruction - Jewelry

Properly caring for your sterling silver jewelry is essential for preserving its shine and allure. Here are essential care tips:

Storage:

  1. Keep your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  2. Consider using Ziplock or peel & stick plastic bags to deter tarnishing.
  3. Store each piece separately to prevent scratches and tangling.

Avoid Exposure:

  1. Before bathing, swimming or using hot tubs, remove your silver jewelry, as chlorine and saltwater can hasten tarnishing.
  2. Stay clear of harsh chemicals like household cleaners, perfumes, and cosmetics.
  3. Prioritize removing jewelry during activities that could cause physical damage, such as sports.

Cleaning:

  1. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for gentle cleaning to eliminate tarnish and fingerprints.
  2. Avoid abrasive materials like paper towels or tissues, which can scratch the metal.

Avoid Oxidation: If your jewelry has intentional oxidation for design purposes, be cautious when cleaning, as excessive polishing can remove this darkened effect.

Patina Preservation: Some silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized or patinated to create unique designs. Over-polishing can remove this patina, so it's best to avoid excessive cleaning if you want to maintain the intended appearance.

Avoid Hairspray and Lotions: Apply hairspray, lotions, and other cosmetics before putting on your silver jewelry to minimize contact with chemicals that can tarnish it.
