Sterling Silver Care Guide

Caring for Your Sterling Silver Jewellery

With the right care, your sterling silver jewellery will stay beautiful for years to come. Follow these simple tips to keep your pieces looking their best.

Cleaning

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish your silver after each wear - these will be provided with your order.
  • For a deeper clean, use warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, as they can damage delicate pearl settings.

Storage

  • Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratching.
  • Keep silver in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Anti-tarnish strips in your jewellery box can help slow tarnishing.

Everyday Wear

  • Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, or exercising.
  • Avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household chemicals.
  • Put your jewellery on last when getting ready.

Caring for Freshwater Pearls

  • Wipe pearls with a soft damp cloth after wearing — never soak them.
  • Store pearls flat to prevent the thread from stretching.
  • Pearls are delicate — keep them away from acids, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.
