How to keep your Sterling Silver jewelry looking good?

There is no way of avoiding it. No matter where you bought your Sterling Silver jewelry, it will tarnish over time. Although this process is inevitable, there are some steps you can take to limit the amount of tarnishing that will take place over time. Here are a few tips on how to keep your jewelry looking good: 

​

Store your Sterling Silver jewelry properly

When you’re not wearing the jewelry, store it in a cool, dark, and dry place. If possible, place your silver jewelry in a zip lock plastic bag and squeeze the air out. This will limit the amount of contaminants the jewelry will come in contact with. 

Wipe down your jewelry after wearing it

Use a dry soft cloth and quickly wipe down your jewelry after wearing it, before placing it back into its proper storage. This helps remove contaminants that the jewelry may have come in contact with. 

Wear your Sterling Silver jewelry often

Instead of leaving your Sterling Silver jewelry to tarnish by itself, wear it as often as possible. As long as you wipe it down after wearing it, your jewelry should keep looking pristine until the end of times.

​

Avoid moisture at all costs

Its not a crisis if you accidentally jump in a pool with your sterling silver jewelry one day. However, moisture will tarnish your jewelry in no time. Therefore, its important to keep your jewelry dry and not leave it sitting in a humid place.

Clean your jewelry when it starts to tarnish

Instead of hiding away your tarnished jewelry, try wiping the tarnish away with a dry soft cloth. If this does not remove the stain, use a liquid tarnish remover. Below you can find a guide on how to clean tarnished jewelry like a pro.
