PRODUCT CARE :

Caring for 925 sterling silver jewelry is essential to maintaining its beauty and shine over time. Sterling silver is durable, but it can tarnish or lose its luster if not properly cared for. Natural oxidation is a property of silver metal and is caused by varying climatic and storage conditions.

Here are some tips on caring 925 silver jewellery:

• Avoid moisture: Water, lotions, perfumes, and sweat can tarnish silver. Always remove your silver jewelry before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
• Store properly: When not wearing your jewelry, store it in a dry place, away from excessive humidity.
• Air-tight bags or pouches: Use anti-tarnish pouches or cloth bags to keep moisture and air out.
• Jewelry box with compartments: If using a jewelry box, ensure each piece is kept separately to avoid scratches.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Long exposure to sunlight can also cause tarnishing over time.
• Use a polishing cloth: Silver polishing cloths, specifically designed for 925 sterling silver, can restore the shine. These cloths are treated with a special cleaning agent that gently removes tarnish.
• Gentle buffing: Buff your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and tarnish.
• Soap and water: If your jewelry gets dirty, wash it with mild soap and warm water. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt in crevices.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Stay away from abrasive cleaners or chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or vinegar, as they can damage the silver.
• Use anti-tarnish strips: Store your silver jewelry with anti-tarnish strips to help prevent tarnishing.
• Wear often: Wearing silver jewelry helps keep it shiny, as the natural oils from your skin can help prevent tarnishing.
• Stone Care: Gently wipe the stones with a soft cloth to prevent build-up of dust or oils, but avoid using abrasive cleaning cloths, as they can scratch the stones.
• Stone Sensitivity: Some stones, such as emeralds, opals, or pearls, are especially sensitive to chemicals and may discolor or degrade with exposure.
•  Fading Stones: Stones like amethyst, citrine, and topaz can fade over time if exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Store your jewelry in a cool, dark place when not in use.
• Soft Stones (Opals, Pearls, Turquoise): These stones require extra care because they are more prone to scratching or cracking. Keep them away from harsh chemicals, and clean them only with a damp cloth.
• Harder Stones (Diamonds, Sapphires): These stones are more durable, but can still be scratched by harder materials, so be cautious around rough surfaces.
• Preventing Wear and Tear: It’s generally a good idea to remove your jewelry before bed to avoid unnecessary stress or pressure on both the silver and the stones, which could lead to scratches or damage.
