Sterling silver is beautiful, but like all silver it can darken over time when it reacts with air, moisture and chemicals. The good news: a little care keeps it shining for years.
Everyday care
- Put your jewellery on last – after perfume, hairspray and lotion.
- Take it off before swimming, showering, exercising or cleaning.
- Wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
Storage
- Store pieces separately so they do not scratch each other.
- A small pouch or lined box helps keep air and moisture away.
Gentle cleaning
Mix a little mild washing-up liquid in lukewarm water, dip the piece briefly and clean gently with a very soft brush. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh silver dips and abrasive polishes, which can wear away plating.
Moissanite
Moissanite is very hard and does not cloud easily. Clean it the same way to remove lotion and dust and keep its sparkle bright.
