How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry

Sterling silver is timeless, beautiful, and meant to be worn often. Like all precious metals, though, it can naturally tarnish over time. The good news? With just a little care, your silver pieces will stay bright and shiny for years to come.

1. Wear it often

Believe it or not, wearing your silver jewelry actually helps prevent tarnish. The natural oils in your skin keep silver looking polished.

 

2. Store it properly

When you’re not wearing your jewelry, keep it in a soft pouch or airtight container. This reduces exposure to air and moisture, which are the main causes of tarnish.


3. Avoid chemicals

Take your jewelry off before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes. Chemicals in these products can dull the shine of silver.


4. Give it a quick polish

Every order from Monkeys Always Look comes with a jewelry cloth to help you care for your pieces. A gentle rub with the cloth from time to time will easily remove tarnish and bring back that sparkle.

Caring for sterling silver doesn’t have to be complicated — just a few simple habits will keep your jewelry looking as lovely as the day you received it.
