How do I care for my jewellery to keep it looking its best?

To keep your Sterling Silver 925 jewellery looking its best, follow these simple care tips:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently polish your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any surface dirt or smudges. Avoid using paper towels as they can scratch the silver.
  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, detergents, and perfumes to prevent damage.
  3. Store Properly: Store your sterling silver in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original box you received it in, which is designed to protect it from tarnish and external elements. If you prefer, you can also use the black velvet pouch you received.
  4. Wear Often: Interestingly, wearing your sterling silver jewellery often can help prevent tarnishing - the oils in your skin help keep the silver clean and shiny.
  5. Polish for Shine: If tarnish does appear, use the polishing cloth formulated specifically for silver to restore its shine and remove tarnish (included in your order).

By adhering to these care tips, you can ensure that your jewellery remains radiant and beautiful for years to come.
