How to clean your silver jewels

 

Do you ever wonder how some people manage to keep their silver jewelry looking as radiant as the day they got it? Well, here's a little secret: just rock it! Yes, that's right. Wearing your silver jewelry is like casting a spell to ward off tarnish. The natural oils from your skin work wonders in maintaining its gleam.

But wait, there's more! Let's delve into some additional hacks to combat tarnish, which is caused by a chemical reaction with airborne sulfur compounds:

Store it Smart  The key to keeping tarnish at bay lies in proper storage. When you're not flaunting your silver pieces, tuck them away in an airtight bag. Think of it as giving your jewelry a cozy little nest. That's why most of our pieces come with trusty ziplock bags! Air and moisture are tarnish culprits, so keeping your silver snug in airtight containers or ziplock bags is crucial.

Steer Clear of Harsh Chemicals Chemicals and silver? They're not exactly best friends. Household chemicals, chlorinated water, and cosmetics can accelerate tarnishing. So, when you're getting ready, make sure to put on your silver jewelry last, after you've finished with any makeup or hair products. And remember to take it off before diving into the pool or wielding the cleaning supplies. Oh, and hot springs? Keep your silver far, far away from those!

And if tarnish strikes, fear not! A gentle cleaning with a silver polishing cloth or a mixture of mild soap and warm water, followed by a soft, dry cloth, can restore its shimmer.

So, there you have it! With these tricks up your sleeve, you can keep your silver jewelry looking as dazzling as ever.
