Care steps for 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry for Long Lasting

Always wear your jewelry to help prevent tarnish Over time oxidation reactions can occur in silver jewelry, especially with sulfur and oxygen, delivering silver to become tarnished.


Wearing and handling will gentely the oxidation process and put your silver polished, shiny and beautiful.


Store correctly to minimize tarnish and scratches Minimize tarnish as well as scratches by collection your jewelry in individual small plastic bags, as well as separate compartments in your jewelry box. reckon investing in a jewelry box that is lined with a 'tarnish-free' material to keep your silver shiny and sparkling.


Use a polishing cloth - One of the best ways to fresh your jewelry is with a professional jewelry polishing cloth. The cloth is treated with cleaning chemicals and not single will the cloth last a long time, it will give you an amazing shine each and every time.


Type of cloth to use:

Clean your sterling silver jewelry with a soft 100% cotton (nub free) cloth or flannel cloth and quietly rub off any excess makeup.  Remember silver is a very soft metal and you can graze it if you aren't careful so don't rub it too briskly.  Never use anything but clean 100% cotton or a special sterling silver cleaning cloth or very soft bristle brush, like a babies tooth brush or a horsehair silver brush.  Paper, polyester, and coarse fabrics often check wood fibers or synthetics that can cause tiny scratches in the surface of your fine sterling silver jewelry.


NOTE-:

    Please don't ever wear your silver jewelry in a mineral spa - your jewelry will turn very black.
    Please.... never dip any silver jewelry in 'dip' solutions or commercial cleaning solutions even though it may say that it is for silver jewelry. . Dip cleaners will action the first few times, but after that the silver jewelry may bend in color and will never shape the same. And the gemstones in your silver jewelry may be damaged from the dip settlement.
 
 Keeping your silver jewelry in a calm and dry place will help in avoiding oxidation. Silver reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air and acquires a dull build up. This robs the silver jewelry and articles of their natural sheen. The tarnish must be removed constantly to keep the silver items bright and sparkling. Silver jewelry is best kept away from obvious exposure to sunlight or artificial light for long periods of time.

 If you want to maintain the life of your jewelry do not wear while swimming, bathing, doing dishes or cleaning. Do not denude your bracelet or another jewelry to bleach, chlorine or extended time in water, as this can weaken the power of your bracelet or jewelry.

 A good rule for all jewelry: Jewelry should be the last thing put on when getting dressed in the morning and the sooner thing taken off when preparing for bed.
 
 If you are very dear of your possessions and love to wear them regularly, make sure that you employ spare efforts to take watch of them With Regular Cleaning.
