Silver does tarnish over time when the surface of the silver reacts with oxygen to create silver oxide which is grey/black in color. To prevent this, or slow down the process, pop all your Jewelry into airtight plastic bags. This also stops your Jewelry from being scratched and you can then stack your Jewelry neatly in a dry box or cabinet.

To clean tarnished silver or gold, a soft “silver cloth” would be your first step. With a little bit of “huff” and elbow grease you should find that your jewelry returns to its original high shine. If there are more stubborn stains you may need to use some silver dip or other similar cleaners but DO make sure you follow the instructions. Do not soak, do not use hot water, and any cloths that you use make sure they are clean otherwise little specks of dirt on the cloth may scratch the surface of your jewelry.

For Jewelry with set stones or pearls then a silver cloth really should be all you use, stones and pearls should not be put into any cleaning solution. Taking a little time with the cloth to get into those hard to reach corners will pay off.

Silver will react to different chemicals such as chlorine, moisturisers, perfumes and even salt. You should remove your Jewelry for swimming, exercise, showering and sleeping as all these activities can increase the risk of tarnishing and discoloration. The discoloration caused by some of these chemicals can be irreversible.

Some of our rings have an adjustable feature to fit most fingers sizes. They are able to be gently pulled to adjust. Forceful pulling can cause the band to wear and doing this repetitively can cause the band to break, so please do so with care.
