Tips for keeping your silver jewelry clean, polished and beautiful.
Wear Your Jewelry To Keep It Looking Clean and Beautiful
Wearing and handling will
slow the oxidation process and keep your silver clean and shiny.
Over time oxidation reactions will occur, especially with sulfur and
oxygen, causing silver to become tarnished. One of the best remedies for this is to wear your jewelry! Daily wear will help keep your jewelry polished and it will come to have a wonderful silver patina.
Polishing Your Jewelry:
Please Don't Dip!
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 work the first few times, but after that the silver
jewelry may turn in color and will never look the same. And any gemstones
in the jewelry may be damaged from the dip solution.
We do not recommend cleaning your jewelry with toothpaste and a toothbrush
as you will be scratching the silver and this may also dislodge gemstones.
The best way to clean your jewelry is with a professional jewelry
polishing cloth. The cloth is treated with cleaning chemicals and
not only will the cloth last a long time, it will give you an amazing
shine each and every time. At Beautiful Silver Jewelry we use the bright yellow 'Sunshine' cleaning cloth.
Silver polishing cloths are available at major supermarkets, at hardware
stores and at jewelry stores. We now sell the Sunshine Polishing Cloth
Have a professional jeweler clean your sterling silver jewelry once a year. This will also help protect against gemstone loss, as the jeweler will check for loose stones.
Storing Your Jewelry
Minimize scratches by storing your jewelry in cloth pouches, small
plastic bags and in separate compartments in your jewelry box.
We will ship your jewelry in our anti-tarnish plastic bags if you request that on the order form. They will help keep tarnish away when your store or travel with your jewelry and they'll also protect against scratches.
Silver Jewelry Lasts A Lifetime
Your quality silver gemstone jewelry will last a lifetime and
can be passed down as heirlooms for future generations. They'll appreciate the time you've taken to keep your jewelry clean.
About 925 Sterling Silver
Silver is one of the world's most useful metals as
well as one of the world's most valuable metals. Typically, sterling silver consists
of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This makes it more
suitable for wearable jewelry as 100% silver would be much too soft, would bend and easily show marks. The standard practice of adding 7.5% alloy makes your silver jewelry strong and long lasting.
