How to: Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry

Tips and tricks to care and maintain your sterling silver jewelry. 
  • Make your jewelry the last thing you put on in the morning, and the first thing you take off at night. 
  • Wear your silver frequently. Silver remains cleaner and shinier with movement and friction. 
  • Remove your jewelry when cleaning, swimming, and taking a shower.
  • Place your jewelry in a zip-lock bag and store in a cool, dry place. This will slow the tarnishing and prevent scratching. 

  • Wipe your jewelry clean with a soft cloth before returning it to storage to remove body oils and dirt. 
  • Clean your tarnished jewelry with a professional polishing cloth such as the Sunshine Polishing Cloth. 
  • Do not use a dip solution. These chemical cleaning solutions may cause your sliver and gemstones to turn in color. 
  • It is recommended not to clean your silver with toothpaste and a tooth brush. This will easily scratch the silver. 

Take care of your silver jewelry now and you will be able to enjoy your pieces for years to come.
