How to Care After Your Silver Jewellery
September 05, 2019Every now and then it's a good habit to clean your jewellery to ensure that it does not deteriorate. How you do this is actually a lot simpler than many people imagine it to be. All you have to do is fill up a small basin, such as a washing up bowl, with warm water and a very mild detergent. Be careful not to use bleach or any other strong cleaning products as this will damage your silver even further. Once the bowl is filled, carefully wash each piece of silver and then leave it on a towel to dry. If you have stones on your jewellery, you can use a soft toothbrush to lightly brush in between the claws. It really is as simple and as easy as that!
There are certain precautions you can take whilst wearing your jewellery to ensure that it does not come into contact with anything which may cause a substantial amount of damage. One of the best things you can do, which you will be glad to hear about, is wear your silver as much as possible. If you leave your silver laying around in the bottom of your jewellery box, it is more likely to tarnish then if you are wearing it on a frequent basis. It is also advisable that you try to avoid contact with rubber as much as possible whilst wearing silver.

You also need to consider the type of jewelry you are wearing when determining the best way to go about washing it. After all, washing jewelry like helix piercing or any other sort of jewelry that is going to go inside of your skin needs to be considered even more carefully. You do not want to do something that is going to cause skin irritation. The vast majority of studs and pieces of jewelry like this are going to come with instructions so that you know exactly how to clean and wash them in the most effective manner. This will not only make sure that your jewelry lasts for as long as possible but it will also help to make sure you don’t suffer an infection or anything like this.
So there you have it… It really is that simple to clean and maintain the quality of your silver jewellery and avoid an unwanted hasty trip back to the jewellers.
