 Sterling silver earrings have long been a staple of the modern woman's (and sometimes man's) wardrobe. Whether your sterling silver earrings are small, understated studs or large hoops, sterling earrings have always been sported by a wide audience because of the affordability of silver.
Sterling silver refers to a type of alloy that is a mix of pure silver and the metal copper, which lends it strength and durability. Unfortunately, it is these other elements which make silver tarnish over time and exposure to the elements. Pure silver actually tarnishes very little, but it is too rare and too soft to be used alone. So sterling silver earrings as well as all sterling jewelry need to be taken care of by storing them in separate pouches and cleansing them with silver polish.
Avoid cleaning your sterling silver earrings with cleaners that contain ammonia; these will cause your sterlin jewelry to turn black. You can remove slight tarnish with soap and water. If your jewelry does not contain gemstones, you can clean it with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner.
Remember when buying sterling silver earrings and other jewelry to look for the .925 hallmark to ensure that it is sterling. If it is not, you run the risk of having your sterling earrings tarnish at a faster pace or cause an allergic reaction.
