Sterling Silver Jewelry Care

Keeping Sterling Silver Beautiful

Sterling silver naturally develops tarnish over time as it reacts with air, moisture, skin oils, and household products. Regular, gentle care will help preserve the finish and details of your jewelry.

Everyday Care

• Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, or using household cleaners.
• Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, lotion, chlorine, and harsh chemicals.
• After wearing, wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry jewelry cloth.
• Store pieces separately in a dry, closed bag or jewelry box to reduce tarnish and scratching.

Cleaning

Use a polishing cloth made for sterling silver. For light cleaning, use mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry the piece completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners and stiff brushes, especially on antiqued, detailed, stone-set, or delicate jewelry.

If you are unsure how to clean a particular piece, contact us before using a commercial cleaner.
