Silver jewellery is not only a timeless addition to your accessory collection but also a versatile staple that can be dressed up or down. However, maintaining its stunning sparkle requires proper care. In this blog post, we'll discuss some common mistakes people make when caring for silver jewellery and how you can avoid them to ensure your pieces stay as dazzling as ever.
1. Not Storing Silver Jewellery Correctly
One of the easiest mistakes to make is improper storage of silver jewellery. Exposure to air and moisture can cause tarnishing. To avoid this, store your pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in an anti-tarnish pouch or a lined jewellery box. Products such as the Silver Zircon Circle Pendant with Link Chain can benefit greatly from proper storage.
2. Wearing Silver Jewellery in the Shower
Though it might be tempting to keep your jewellery on all the time, wearing your silver pieces in the shower is not advisable. Soap and shampoo can leave a residue on the surface, dulling the shine. Make sure to remove items like the Infinite Love Heart Zircon Silver Bracelet before jumping in for a shower.
3. Using Harsh Cleaning Chemicals
Avoid using harsh chemicals, including toothpaste or strong cleaning agents, to clean your silver jewellery. These can scratch or damage the delicate surface of your silver pieces. Instead, use a soft cloth or a specifically formulated silver polishing cloth. Gentle care will keep items like the Silver Square Solitaire Studs looking their best.
4. Neglecting Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning is crucial to maintain the brilliance and shine of silver jewellery. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to clean your pieces regularly. This will help prevent any significant build-up of dirt or oils that can occur over time.
5. Ignoring Tarnish as it Develops
Tarnish is the bane of silver jewellery, but it is preventable. Once you notice the slightest hint of tarnish, address it immediately. Prompt action will ensure pieces like the Butterfly Affection Silver Bracelet stay beautiful for years to come.
