How to Care for Silver Jewellery so it Shines Like Brand New

Silver jewellery, with its understated elegance, deserves attentive care to preserve its beauty. Here's a concise guide to ensure the shine of your silver pieces.

1. Guard Against Tarnish: Shield your silver jewellery from tarnish by avoiding contact with harsh chemicals, like those in perfumes and cleaning agents. Apply these products before wearing your jewellery to minimise exposure.

2. Regular Cleaning: Maintain the brilliance of your silver pieces by regularly cleaning them with a mild soap and water solution. Gently polish with a soft cloth to remove tarnish and restore their natural shine.

3. Proper Storage: Prevent scratches and tarnish by storing each silver piece individually in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box. This safeguards their unique charm and minimises the need for frequent cleaning.

4. Routine Inspections: Periodically inspect your silver jewellery for any signs of tarnish, scratches, or loose components. Promptly address issues by seeking professional advice to ensure the longevity of your pieces.

6. Professional Maintenance: Consider professional cleaning by a jeweller for a more thorough maintenance routine. This not only ensures a deeper cleanse but also allows for a comprehensive inspection of your silver pieces.

By following these steps your silver pieces will be preserved and sparkle like new for many years to come.
