[925] Sterling Silver Care Guide
23 Apr 2026
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time due to exposure to air and moisture, but it’s easy to maintain.
What to Avoid
- Prolonged exposure to water (especially pools, hot tubs, and saltwater)
- Chemicals like perfume, lotion, hairspray, and cleaning products
- Humid environments
How to Store
- Store in an airtight bag or container
- Keep in a cool, dry place
- Use anti-tarnish strips or cloth if possible
How to Clean
- Polish with a soft silver polishing cloth
- For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly
- Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the surface
Best Practices
- Wear often—natural oils from your skin can help slow tarnishing
- Put jewelry on last when getting ready
- Remove before showering or exercising
General Jewelry Care Tips
- Last on, first off: put jewelry on after getting ready, and remove it before bed
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals and moisture whenever possible
- Clean gently and regularly rather than waiting for buildup
