Silver Jewelry Care Tips

Do you know why silver darkens and tarnishes so fast in the summer? Heat, humidity, sweat, and body chemicals mix with the alloys in sterling silver, making it oxidize faster, resulting in the dull and darkened patina on your pieces. Some people mistake this oxidation thinking that the sterling silver is not "real". However sterling silver will come clean easily with silver polishing agents. Especially for the summertime, I have the Sunshine Polishing Cloth on sale for $5, including shipping within the USA!

My Silver Jewelry Care Tips:

~Don't wear your jewelry in the swimming pool or hot tub. The harsh chemicals can break down the elements of the metal

~Rub your jewelry with the Sunshine Polishing Cloth after each wear. This will help to remove the body oils and take off any oxidation that has occurred.

~Store your jewelry in an airtight zip bag, like the one your piece initially comes in. If you've received a 3"h x 2"w milky-white zip bag with a red horizontal line across the top, that's actually an anti-tarnish bag! You can keep your jewelry stored in there for up to 2 years with minimal ozidation happening!

~Rub your jewelry with the Sunshine Polishing Cloth before each wear. This will help to remove any oxidation that has occurred while it was in storage.
