 Cleaning sterling silver is always a top priority for those who love sterling and wear it often. To preserve your sterling silver for a lifetime, be sure to keep each
item in a seperate bag and store in a cool; dry place.
All silver will
eventually tarnish, regardless of how careful you are. When you do notice
some discoloration, clean sterling silver with a polishing solution
and cotton cloth to clean the piece.
Tips to keep your jewelry bright and beautiful:
- Store sterling silver jewelry in a clean and dry place protected from dirt, dust, and moisture.
- Remember to never store sterling silver along with gold jewelry, because there is an actual chemical reaction that tarnishes the silver and turns it black.
- Sterling silver jewelry should not be worn while you are applying makeup or perfume or lotions. These products contain chemical that can damage the silver, leading to corrosion and tarnishing.
- When cleaning sterling silver, use any white toothpaste and an old toothbrush or a thin stick such as a cuticle stick (Orange Stick) wrapped in cotton to get in those small crevices or carved designs.
- For larger jobs, clean your sterling with a mixture of baking soda and water and then rinse with hot water and wipe dry with a cloth. Some jewelry stores sell a special polishing cloth, but any soft cloth will do. Be careful to avoid precious stones and other gemstones in the process.
Cleaning sterling silver is essential in order to preserve the natural beauty of your jewelry for years to come.
