Silver jewellery is not just a fashion statement; it's a timeless treasure. However, improper storage can lead to tarnishing and damage. Here are the top 12 problems you might face when storing your silver jewellery and solutions to keep your treasures in pristine condition.
1. Tarnishing
Problem: Silver jewellery tends to tarnish when exposed to air and moisture.
Solution: Store your pieces in airtight containers or bags. Adding silica gel packs can help absorb moisture. Check out our exquisite Circle of Elegance Silver Ring, and keep it shining bright.
2. Scratches
Problem: Scratching from other jewellery pieces can degrade the appearance of silver jewellery.
Solution: Store each piece separately in a soft fabric bag. Our Silver Zircon Circle Pendant with Link Chain deserves an undisturbed setting.
3. Tangles
Problem: Delicate chains often get tangled.
Solution: Use straws or sturdy cards by threading the chains through them to prevent knotting. This method works for our Silver Arc Zircon Pendant with Link Chain.
4. Moisture and Humidity
Problem: High humidity levels can speed up tarnishing.
Solution: Store jewellery in a cool, dry place away from bathrooms or kitchens. For your Signature V-Shaped Silver Pendant with Link Chain, this can prolong its life and lustre.
5. Chemical Exposure
Problem: Perfumes, lotions, and cleansers can damage silver.
Solution: Always wear silver jewellery after applying beauty products. This is crucial for items like our Celestial Divine Heart Silver Bracelet.
6. Discoloration from Hard Water
Problem: Hard water can cause discoloration over time.
Solution: Remove all your silver jewellery before swimming or showering. You wouldn't want to expose the delicate Sparkling Tear Drop Silver Bracelet to harsh elements.
7. Loss of Shine
Problem: Silver can lose its shine over time.
Solution: Use a silver polishing cloth regularly. It’s a small investment to keep your Dazzling Diamond Essence Zircon Silver Studs sparkling.
8. Loss of Stones
Problem: Improper handling can jeopardize stone settings.
Solution: Regularly check the settings, particularly for pieces like the Triple Star Silver Floral Zircon Bracelet, to avoid any surprises.
9. Misplacement
Problem: Losing an item can be frustrating.
Solution: Have a designated jewellery box and always return items to their place. Use compartments for organization.
10. Over-Cleaning
Problem: Frequent cleaning, especially with harsh substances, can damage jewellery.
Solution: Clean silver sparingly and with gentle solutions. For care tips, visit Rachiva's collection.

Solution: Regularly polish your jewellery and keep it clean. Use trusted storage solutions.
12. Lack of Organization
Problem: Disorganized storage can lead to overlooked pieces.
Solution: Arrange your collection neatly to ensure each piece gets its wear time. Enjoy elegance with a well-maintained inventory.
