Sterling Silver Jewelry...Care & Cleaning

Sterling silver jewelry looks fabulous year 'round, but especially in the summer! Unfortunately, .925 sterling silver has copper in it which reacts with oxygen and produces tarnish. Pure silver jewelry does not tarnish.

For general cleaning, use a polishing cloth. Commercial dips & polishes are too harsh.

For cleaning sterling silver jewelry with crevices, try this easy method:

1.  Fill a bowl with enough warm water to cover your jewelry.
2.  Pour in a small amount of mild soap and slosh it around to mix.
3.  Add jewelry and use a brand new sponge to gently scrub it.
4.  Don't allow jewelry to soak very long; this prevents water spots.
5.  Rinse each piece well under running warm or cool water to remove soap.
6.  Don't forget to dry each piece well with a microfiber cloth or towel.

Enjoy the sparkle and shine of that favorite piece!
