Over time, the metal can tarnish and it is important to properly care for Sterling Silver jewellery.

 

Storing Sterling Silver Jewellery

Oxygen in the air will tarnish Sterling Silver, so properly storing your jewellery will help minimize that oxidation. Here are some storage tips:

Store pieces separately
Store them in an airtight bag
Place a packet of silica in the storage bag

Wearing your Sterling Silver jewellery regularly can actually help prevent tarnishing since the oils from your body have a cleaning effect. However, some activities can accelerate tarnishing. You should remove your Sterling Silver jewellery before doing any of the following:

  • Using household cleaning supplies.
  • Sunbathing
  • Swimming
  • Spraying Hairspray
  • Putting on Lotion and Makeup
