925 Sterling Silver

Sterling Silver jewelry is a timeless and elegant choice that adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.

925 sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This composition provides strength and durability to the silver while preserving its lustrous appearance.

Caring for Your 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry:

• Store Properly: Store your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent tarnishing.

• Avoid Exposure: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, such as perfumes, cosmetics, chlorine, and household cleaners, as they can cause damage and tarnish.

• Remove Before Activities: Remove your sterling silver jewelry before swimming, bathing, exercising, or engaging in activities that may cause friction or impact to the pieces.

• Clean Regularly: Gently clean your sterling silver jewelry with a soft cloth or silver polishing cloth to remove dirt, oils, and tarnish buildup. For stubborn tarnish, use a mild silver cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush.

• Pat Dry: After cleaning, pat your jewelry dry with a clean, soft cloth to remove any moisture and prevent water spots.

• Polish as Needed: Use a silver polishing cloth or a specialized silver polish to restore shine and luster to your jewelry as needed.

• Tarnish: Tarnish is a natural reaction that occurs when sterling silver comes into contact with air, moisture, or sulfur-containing substances. While tarnish can't be completely avoided, regular cleaning and proper storage can help minimize its effects.

• QUICK HACK • to Clean Tarnished Silver Jewelry

Restore the shine to your tarnished sterling silver jewelry with this simple and effective home remedy.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Line a bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up.

2. Add a tablespoon of baking soda.

3. Pour in boiling water until the bowl is half full.

4. Place your tarnished silver jewelry in the bowl, ensuring it touches the aluminum foil.

5. Let it sit for a few hours, or even overnight, for best results.

6. Carefully remove your jewelry, rinse it with cool water, and polish it with a soft cloth until all the tarnish is gone.

This method works because of a chemical reaction between the baking soda, aluminum foil, and tarnish. The reaction causes the tarnish to transfer from the silver onto the aluminum foil, leaving your jewelry looking as good as new! ♡

----------------------------------------------------
⋆ IMPORTANT TIP: Do not use a plastic bowl for this cleaning method. The boiling water and chemical reaction can cause the plastic to warp or release harmful chemicals. Instead, use a glass or ceramic bowl to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
