Silver Care Guide

Simple habits to keep your 925 silver shining for years

✓ Do

Wear it often

Silver that is worn regularly tarnishes less – natural skin contact keeps it bright.

✓ Do

Store it in a zip pouch

Keep each piece in an air-tight zip pouch or the box we send, away from air and moisture. Add a small silica gel packet.

✓ Do

Wipe after wearing

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth after every use to remove sweat and oils.

✓ Do

Clean at home gently

Use mild soap in lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Rinse, then dry completely. For dark spots, use a silver polishing cloth.

✕ Avoid

Perfume, lotion & hair spray

Put on jewellery after perfume, deo, cream and hair spray – chemicals cause tarnish fast.

✕ Avoid

Water, pool & bathing

Take off jewellery before bathing, swimming, washing clothes or cleaning with bleach.

✕ Avoid

Harsh cleaning

Do not use toothpaste, baking soda or sharp brushes on stone-studded or oxidised pieces – they scratch the finish.

✕ Avoid

Storing pieces together

Do not keep pieces loose together – chains tangle and stones scratch other jewellery.

Silver care questions

Why does silver turn black?

Silver reacts with sulphur in the air, sweat, perfumes and chemicals. This forms a thin dark layer called tarnish. It is natural, not a defect, and can be cleaned.

Will oxidised silver lose its black design if I polish it?

Yes, strong polishing removes the oxidised (black) finish. Clean oxidised pieces only with a soft dry cloth.

Can I wear silver every day?

Yes! 925 silver is perfect for daily wear. Just keep it away from water and chemicals and wipe it after use.
