Top Care Tips For Your Silver Jewellery

Silver jewellery can be a chore to keep on top of. Knowing the right things to do is absolutely essential and maintaining a brilliant shine is possible with the right cleaning and maintenance routine. 

Caring For Your Silver Jewellery

Silver is one of those items that remain timeless and rarely fluctuate in value. It will never go out of fashion and learning to care for yours can be one of the best things you’ll ever do for it.

If you are looking to build up your collection to get the ball rolling, we recommend some beautiful sterling silver rings. They can be a quicker way to get your collection growing as you mix and match with other items you may already have. Unlike dainty silver jewellery, they can be more standalone and require less combination and matching. So, if you are thinking about how to care for your silver in the most optimal way, keep reading for more details.

1.    Know what type of silver it is

Silver comes in different forms and you can recognise this by the numbers you see engraved on the jewellery. You will either see .950 or .925. The rating of .925 is more sturdy and durable, while .950 needs polishing regularly to prevent tarnishing and keep it looking shiny. If you are unsure of what type you are dealing with, it’s a good idea to check with the jewellery store you brought it from for the full low down.

2.    Keep it away from moisture

Keeping silver dry is imperative if you want it to remain untarnished and prevent rusting. The more it comes into contact with water, the duller it will look. As the water isn’t pure, the chemicals in it can cause damage to your jewellery. So, if anything gets wet, it’s imperative to dry it straight away to keep it from tarnishing.

3.    Use a case always

When you are storing your accessories and especially if you are travelling with your sterling silver, you will want to get a cushioned box to put them in. This will prevent scratching and ensure your sterling silver stays protected and safe.

4.    Take it off when you can

If you’re doing any heavy-duty tasks or are planning to get your hands dirty, it’s the best time to take it off. You want to protect your gorgeous rings, bracelets and jewellery by taking the proper preventative measures. So, if you are planning to be sweating at the gym or using strong chemicals containing chlorine, you may want to give the jewellery a break.

When you follow these rules, you can rest assured that you will bring the best out of your silver jewellery and keep them in tip-top shape.
