Silver jewellery never goes out of style and is cherished for its timeless beauty and versatility. Whether you own a beautiful Modern Flair Diamond Zircon Silver Ring or an exquisite Butterfly Affection Silver Bracelet, taking proper care of your pieces can ensure they remain stunning for years to come. Here are some frequently asked questions about caring for your silver jewellery:
How do I clean my silver jewellery?
Silver jewellery tends to tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. To clean your pieces at home, use a soft cloth or a special silver polishing cloth to gently wipe and restore their shine. For more stubborn tarnish, you can create a paste using baking soda and water. Carefully rub this onto the jewellery and rinse thoroughly, then dry with a soft cloth. Remember to avoid using paper towels or tissues that might scratch the surface.
Can I wear my silver jewellery in water?
While it's alright to wear silver jewellery occasionally in water, it's advisable to remove them before swimming or showering. Chlorine and saltwater can accelerate tarnishing and damage delicate pieces. For instance, to keep the artistry of your Celestial Divine Heart Silver Bracelet intact, remove it before diving into the pool or ocean.
How should I store silver jewellery?
Proper storage is key in preventing tarnish and scratches. Store your silver jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in a jewellery box lined with soft fabric. Individual pouches or plastic bags can offer further protection and prevent pieces from scratching each other. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or humid environments.
How often should I clean my silver jewellery?
The frequency of cleaning depends largely on how often you wear your jewellery. If you wear pieces like the Silver Spherical Pendant with Chain every day, it might require more regular cleaning compared to items worn occasionally. Aim to clean your often-worn pieces monthly, while pieces worn less frequently can be attended to every few months.
Are there any products I should avoid when cleaning silver?
Yes, avoid harsh chemicals such as bleach, as they can damage silver surfaces. Similarly, ensure that the cleaning paste or polishes specifically indicate they're safe for silver.
