Silver jewellery, with its timeless elegance and versatile charm, can be a treasured addition to your collection. Whether it's an exquisite Sparkling Tear Drop Silver Bracelet or a captivating Signature V-Shaped Silver Pendant with Link Chain, proper care can ensure your pieces remain stunning for years to come. Here are ten essential tips to keep your silver jewellery looking its best.
1. Store Properly
Always store your silver jewellery in a cool, dry place. Use anti-tarnish bags or cloths to prevent tarnishing. Avoid storing in damp or humid conditions, which can accelerate tarnishing.
2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Chemicals present in household cleaners, chlorine in pools, and even body lotions can tarnish and damage silver. Make sure to remove your jewellery, like the Tree of Wisdom Silver Pendant with Link Chain, before using such substances.
3. Wear It Often
This might come as a surprise, but wearing your silver jewellery frequently can actually help prevent tarnish. The oils in your skin will "clean" the silver and keep it shining.
4. Clean Regularly
To maintain its shine, clean your silver pieces regularly. Use a soft cloth to gently polish the surface. For detailed cleaning, use a mild soap solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft towel.
5. Avoid Abrasive Materials
When cleaning your jewellery, avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics that can scratch the silver. Stick to microfiber or special silver polishing cloths.
6. Put it On Last
To minimize exposure to hairspray, perfumes, and cosmetics, put on your silver jewellery last when getting ready. This will help preserve the natural luster of your pieces.
7. Handle with Care
When wearing pieces like the Butterfly Affection Silver Bracelet, handle them with care. Avoid pulling or tugging on delicate pieces which can bend or damage the links.
8. Professional Care
For pieces with intricate designs or settings, like the Cherry Duo Zircon Silver Ring, consider professional cleaning services. Experts can clean your jewellery carefully without damaging the stones or delicate inlays.
9. Be Mindful of Sunlight
Extended exposure to sunlight can cause some silver pieces to tarnish. It's a good idea to limit direct sunlight exposure when possible.
10. Regular Inspections
Regularly inspect your silver jewellery for signs of wear or damage. This is especially important for pieces with stones or complex designs where tarnish or damage can be difficult to reverse.
