Caring for your handmade silver jewelry
Your silver jewelry pieces are unique and special. To maintain their shine and beauty for longer, we recommend following these tips:
Protect your silver jewelry
-
Avoid dropping or hitting your jewelry, as silver is a soft metal and can scratch or damage easily.
-
Do not expose them to water: avoid wearing them in the shower, pool (chlorine), sea (salt) or during intense physical activities.
-
Keep your jewelry away from lotions, perfumes, or oils, as they can dull its shine and accelerate oxidation.
Cleaning and maintenance
-
If you wear your silver jewelry daily or several times a week, clean it at least once a month or when you notice it losing its shine.
To clean:
- Wash your jewelry in a bowl with warm water and mild soap.
- Use a soft toothbrush to clean details and crevices.
-
Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
-
Use a silver polishing cloth to quickly and effectively restore its shine.
-
If the oxidation is more intense, you can use a commercial silver cleaner following the product instructions.
Storage
-
Store your silver jewelry in a dry place and preferably in an anti-tarnish bag or a soft cloth.
-
Avoid storing them with other jewelry that could scratch them.
