Silver jewellery adds a timeless elegance to any ensemble, but it requires proper care to maintain its luster. Whether you're new to silver jewellery or a seasoned enthusiast, you may have questions about keeping your pieces as brilliant as the day you received them. Here, we answer some frequently asked questions to help you preserve the shine of your treasured silver accessories.
How Can I Prevent My Silver Jewellery from Tarnishing?
Silver tarnishes due to its reaction with sulfur molecules in the air. To minimize this process:
- Store Properly: Keep your silver jewellery in an airtight container or zip-lock pouch to limit exposure to air.
- Avoid Chemicals: Remove your silver jewellery when using household cleaning agents, lotions, or perfumes.

How Often Should I Clean My Silver Jewellery?
Regular cleaning can help maintain your silver's shine. A general rule is to clean it once every few weeks to once a month, depending on use and exposure to the elements. Use a gentle polish cloth or a solution of mild soapy water.
What is the Best Way to Clean Silver at Home?
For a gentle cleaning method:
- Mix warm water with a bit of mild dishwashing soap.
- Gently scrub with a soft cloth or toothbrush, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
For more intricate pieces like the Silver Zircon Circle Pendant with Link Chain, take extra care to reach small crevices.
Can I Wear Silver Jewellery Every Day?
Wearing silver jewellery daily is fine as long as you take precautions. Remove your pieces when sleeping, showering, or swimming. This minimizes exposure to water and chemicals that can speed up tarnishing.
