How to Clean and Care for Your 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery

Sterling silver jewellery is beautiful, but it can lose its shine if not cared for properly. With a little love, your favourite pieces can stay sparkling for years. Here’s how:

1. Regular Cleaning: To keep your silver looking its best, gently clean it once a month. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a jewellery polishing cloth specifically made for silver. Gently rub your pieces to remove tarnish and bring back the shine.

2. Soap and Water: For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Mix a small amount of soap into water and use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down your jewellery. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

3. Avoid Tarnish: Store your silver jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. Keeping pieces separate helps avoid scratches. Minimise exposure to air, humidity, and chemicals like perfumes or lotions that can speed up tarnishing.

4. Don’t Wear While... Avoid wearing your silver while swimming, showering, or doing activities involving harsh chemicals (like cleaning). Chlorine and other chemicals can dull or damage sterling silver over time.

5. Use a Professional Cleaner: If your jewellery becomes heavily tarnished, consider using a professional silver cleaner. Always follow the instructions carefully and avoid soaking your jewellery for too long, as it can cause damage.

With proper care, your 925 sterling silver jewellery will keep its brilliant shine, adding a little bit of sparkle to your everyday style.
