Jewelry Care Tips

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is the standard of quality for articles containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (and/or other alloys).

 

HOW TO CARE FOR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY:
Sterling silver requires proper care and cleaning to maintain its initial luster and brilliance. The good news? Caring for sterling silver doesn't have to be a laborious, time-consuming task. As long as you store it properly and keep up with regular periodic maintenance to prevent the dreaded tarnish, silver cleanings can be quick and easy.

 

Cleaning Sterling Silver

Over time, dirt, makeup residue, and skin oils can build up on the surface of your sterling silver jewelry causing the metal to become dull and cloudy. The best way to prevent this undesirable effect is to clean your pieces regularly. As a general rule, the regular use of chemical liquid jewelry cleaners is discouraged, as they can result in the eventual discoloration of the metal. The safest and most effective way to polish sterling silver is to wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using coarse fibers or fabrics, such as paper or polyester, as these can result in scratching. Feel free to wipe down your silver jewelry as often as you'd like to restore its shine and brilliance.

To prevent gold plated color from wearing off, It’s a good idea to always put on your plated jewelry last, after applying makeup, hairspray and perfumes. When doing chores, take off gold plated jewelry as the strong chemicals in detergents and cleaners can impact the plating.
