Caring For Your Ring

How to Store

1. Store in a Dry Environment

Moisture promotes tarnishing, so choose a storage location that is dry and away from humidity. Avoid storing silver jewelry in the bathroom or kitchen

2. Use Anti-Tarnish Storage Options

Utilize anti-tarnish bags or clothes specifically designed to prevent tarnish. These storage options help create a protective barrier against air and moisture.

3. Individual Compartments or Pouches

Store each piece of silver jewelry separately to prevent scratching or tangling. Use individual compartments in a jewelry box or soft pouches to keep them safe and secure.

4. Avoid Exposure to Air and Light

Limit the exposure of your silver jewelry to air and light when not in use. Keep them covered or stored in a jewelry box to minimize oxidation and tarnishing.

5. Keep Away from Chemicals

Avoid storing silver jewelry near chemicals, including household cleaners, perfumes, and cosmetics. Chemicals can accelerate tarnishing and damage the metal.

How to Clean

1. Soap and Water:

It's our favorite method because soap and water are so gentle.

Try it first before you try anything else.

2. Baking Soda and Water:

When you find toothpaste suggestions, ignore them, as nowadays, they may contain a lot of ingredients that might damage your jewelry.

Use baking soda and water to make a paste, then scrub gently with a cloth or toothbrush.

3. White Vinegar and Baking Soda:

For heavy tarnish, soak the sterling silver in a mixture of 1/2 cup white vinegar and 2 tablespoons baking soda for two to three hours. Make sure you rinse and dry your jewelry well.

4. Finish It Off With a Polish:

Complete the process by polishing it with a cloth specifically designed to polish sterling silver.

If necessary, you may repeat this process as many times as needed. Cleaning your sterling silver pieces regularly is vital to removing tarnish as it builds up.

How to Avoid Tarnishing

1. Wear Silver Jewelry Often

Believe it or not, if you wear it often, your skin's natural oils will help maintain its luster. Wearing silver jewelry frequently is one of the most effective ways to prevent it from tarnishing instead of letting it sit unworn in a jewelry box.

2. Remove During Household Chores:

The presence of sulfur-rich substances, such as chlorinated water, household cleaners, and sweat, can expedite the process of corrosion. Therefore, it is essential to completely remove sterling silver items before engaging in any cleaning or washing activities..

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight:

If you plan to go to the beach or the pool, you should remove your silver jewelry. The sun may cause the silver to tarnish.

4. Put It On Last

Put on your jewelry after your clothes, lotions, perfumes, makeup, and everything else
