Silver
Care Instructions for Silver Jewellery
Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to polish your silver regularly. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse and dry completely.
Storage: Store silver in a cool, dry place. Keep it in a tarnish-resistant pouch or a soft cloth to protect it from scratches and tarnishing.
Avoid Moisture: Keep silver away from water, especially chlorinated or salt water, as exposure can promote tarnishing.
Limit Exposure: Remove silver jewellery before using household cleaners or engaging in activities that may expose it to harsh chemicals.
Tarnish Prevention: To minimise tarnishing, wear your silver frequently, as skin oils can help protect it. Consider using anti-tarnish strips in storage boxes.
Professional Cleaning: For heavily tarnished pieces or intricate designs, consider seeking professional cleaning services to restore shine.
