- Store Properly: Keep your silver pieces in airtight bags or anti-tarnish pouches like those available at Rachiva.
- Separate Storage: Prevent scratches by storing silver pieces separately from other jewellery.
- Avoid Chemicals: Remove silver jewellery when using cleaning agents, cooking with sulfur-containing foods, or swimming in chlorinated pools.
How Can You Clean Silver Jewellery at Home?
Cleaning silver jewellery can be simple:
- Mild Soap and Water: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Use a soft cloth to gently clean your jewellery, rinse with cool water, and dry thoroughly.
- Baking Soda Paste: For more tarnished pieces like the Tree of Wisdom Silver Pendant with Link Chain, make a paste of baking soda and water. Gently rub the paste onto the silver with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry.
- Vinegar and Baking Soda: For tougher tarnishes, soak your jewellery in a solution of half a cup of white vinegar and two tablespoons of baking soda. Rinse and dry.
Is It Safe to Wear Silver Jewellery Every Day?
Yes, wearing silver jewellery daily can actually help prevent tarnish, thanks to the natural oils in your skin. Just be mindful of the activities you're engaged in. Delicate pieces such as the Celestial Divine Heart Silver Bracelet require gentle handling during physical activities.
