There are lots of steps you can take every day to prevent your sterling silver jewellery from becoming tarnished over time. From wearing your pieces more frequently to storing them correctly, follow the tips below to keep your sterling silver jewellery shining and looking it's best.

One of the many wonderful things about sterling silver jewellery is that it benefits from being worn. A little bit of gentle buffing and friction combined with natural cleansing from the oils in your skin will reduce tarnishing and keep it shining. So, take this as your excuse to stack up your favourite sterling silver pieces and show them off every day!

We wouldn’t recommend getting your sterling silver jewellery wet regularly. If you think your pieces may have got wet, give them a good wipe with a clean soft microfibre cloth and make sure they’re completely dry before storing.

When wearing your sterling silver pieces daily, it can be easy for them to come into contact with all kinds of harmful products including cosmetics and perfumes as well as detergents and bleaches. When applying body products, it’s best to remove your jewellery and only put it back on once the product has fully soaked in. Similarly, when cleaning and handling household chemicals, it’s best to remove all of your sterling silver pieces entirely.

It’s also important that sterling silver pieces are stored separately from other materials, so they don’t rub and scratch each other, transfer colour, or get tangled. With this in mind, the best way to keep your precious sterling silver pieces looking their best is by keeping them in an airtight container or jewellery box out of direct sunlight.

A gentle clean will bring your pieces back to their former glory in no time. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive polishes and scrubbing pads as these could scratch your jewellery. Instead, it’s best to clean with a dry, lint-free cloth or a microfibre cloth. We do not recommend using an ultrasonic cleaner with any of our pieces of jewellery with crystals or stones.

Yes! Sterling silver is a hypoallergenic metal, meaning all of our sterling silver jewellery is comfortable to wear all day long and ideal for those who experience allergic reactions to certain types of metals.

Sterling silver is a high-quality, long-lasting material, so if looked after properly and cleaned regularly, your sterling silver pieces can be worn and treasured for a lifetime.
