Jewelry Care

Silver Jewelry Care and Maintenance

Whether you own a collection of silver jewelry or just a few cherished pieces, it's important to know how to maintain and clean them effectively.

Why Sterling Silver Tarnishes: 

Sterling silver, typically 92.5% pure silver, tarnishes due to a chemical reaction with air. This tarnishing doesn't mean you should discard your jewelry – it's manageable with proper care.

Preventing Tarnish:

  • Regular wear helps keep silver shiny.
  • Remove jewelry during household chores to avoid exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Apply cosmetics and perfumes before wearing your jewelry.

Cleaning Sterling Silver:

  • Soap and water: Ideal for gentle cleaning.
  • Baking soda and water paste: Use instead of toothpaste for a gentle scrub.
  • White vinegar and baking soda: Effective for heavy tarnish. Soak for 2-3 hours, then rinse and dry.
  • Finish with a polishing cloth specifically for silver.
  • Regular cleaning prevents excessive tarnish buildup.

Storing Silver Jewelry:

  • Use air-tight containers, like zip-lock bags or specialty jewelry bags.
  • Store in cool, dark places.
  • Keep pieces separate to avoid scratches or tangling.
  • Consider anti-tarnish strips or anti-tarnish bags. Silver Garden Designs provides these bags for necklaces and pendants and some larger earrings.
  • Avoid paper, cardboard, or cotton-filled boxes which may speed up tarnishing.

Additional Tarnish Prevention Tips:

  • Store with chalk or silica packs to absorb moisture.
  • Line your jewelry box with anti-tarnish cloths.

By following these tips, you can ensure your silver jewelry remains beautiful and lustrous for years.
