925 Italian silver is a timeless choice, but it requires a dedicated silver care routine to prevent natural tarnishing and maintain its brilliant luster over time. Use this comprehensive silver care guide to keep your jewelry looking brand new.

Daily Wear & Protection: Preventive Silver Care

The easiest form of silver care starts with how you wear your jewelry daily. Protecting your pieces from harsh elements prevents tarnish before it begins:

• Apply Products First: Always apply perfume, hairspray, lotions, and makeup before putting on your pieces. A core rule of silver care is keeping chemicals away from your jewelry, as they accelerate tarnishing.
• Avoid Sweat: Take off your rings, necklaces, and bracelets before working out or engaging in heavy physical activity. Managing moisture is a vital part of silver care, and sweat reacts quickly with the metal.
• Keep Away from Water: Proper silver care means removing your pieces before showering, swimming in pools (chlorine is highly destructive to silver).

Proper Storage

How you store your jewelry when you aren't wearing it is so important and here are the ways to do so:

The Golden Rule: Keep it airtight and dry.

• Zip-Lock Bags: Store individual pieces in small, airtight plastic bags. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
• Separate Your Pieces: Keep items in individual compartments or bags to prevent them from scratching against one another.
• Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place silica gel packets (like the ones found in new shoe boxes) or anti-tarnish strips inside your jewelry box to absorb moisture from the air.
