How to look after sterling silver jewellery

Sterling silver is a beautiful and durable metal, but it can tarnish over time.

To keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best, there are a few things you can do:

• Store it properly. Sterling silver should be stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or in humid environments. It is also best to store individual pieces of jewellery separately to prevent scratching. You can use a jewellery box, soft cloth pouch, or airtight bag.
• Clean it regularly. The best way to clean sterling silver is to use a mild soap and water solution. You can also use a special silver polishing cloth. Be sure to dry your jewellery thoroughly after cleaning.
• Remove it before swimming, showering, or exercising. Sterling silver can be damaged by exposure to chlorine, salt water, and sweat. It is best to remove your jewellery before engaging in these activities.
• Avoid contact with chemicals. Sterling silver can also be damaged by exposure to harsh chemicals, such as perfumes, hairspray, and lotions. Be sure to apply these products before putting on your jewellery.

By following these tips, you can keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best for many years to come.
