Caring for Silver Jewelry
Silver jewelry pieces are timeless, full of charm and versatility. However, with daily use and exposure to air, it's natural for them to lose their shine. To help your jewelry maintain its characteristic elegance, we've put together some practical and simple tips that you can apply at home.
✨ 1. Store your jewelry properly
Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. To prevent this:
-
Store each piece in individual velvet or zip-lock bags .
-
Avoid leaving jewelry scattered in damp places, such as the bathroom.
✨ 2. Avoid contact with chemicals
Perfumes, creams, pool chlorine, and even some cleaning products can accelerate the loss of shine or color in silver.
-
Apply the perfume or cream first, and only then put on the jewelry.
-
Always remove jewelry before swimming or using cleaning products.
✨ 3. Wear your jewelry frequently
Did you know that wearing silver helps keep it shiny? Contact with the skin reduces natural oxidation, so… don't keep your jewelry in a drawer, wear it every day!
✨ 4. Cleaning at home
To maintain the shine:
-
Wash the items with warm water and mild soap , gently scrubbing with a soft brush.
-
Dry thoroughly with a soft flannel cloth .
-
Avoid abrasive products (such as regular toothpaste, cleaning powders, or steel wool), which scratch and damage silver.
✨ 5. When to seek professional help
Some jewelry, especially pieces with natural stones or in gold-plated and rose silver , require special care. In these cases, it's best to seek out a trusted jeweler for a safe and thorough cleaning – or even to have them re-plated to restore the piece's original shine.
