925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver jewelry, marked as 925, can develop oxidation over time due to exposure to air and moisture. This can cause the surface of the silver to darken as the antique look. To care for and clean 925 sterling silver jewelry:

• Regular Maintenance: Wear your jewelry often as the oils in your skin can help prevent tarnishing. When not wearing it, store your silver pieces in airtight containers or tarnish-resistant bags to minimize exposure to air.
• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or jewelry polishing cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or tarnish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface of the silver.
• Mild Soap Solution: For more stubborn tarnish, you can clean your silver jewelry with a mild soap solution. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub the jewelry with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry.
• Silver Polish: If your jewelry requires deeper cleaning, you can use a silver polish specifically formulated for sterling silver. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and avoid getting polish on gemstones or other delicate components.
• Professional Cleaning: For intricate or heavily tarnished pieces, consider taking your jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning and polishing.
