Care for Silver Jewelry
Tarnish is a product of oxidation, caused by interacting of silver jewelry or objects with certain elements such as oxygen or sulfur as well as with certain acids. Tarnishing on silver jewelry, when worn on a regular basis, usually does not occur. Storage for a prolonged time causes silver jewelry to tarnish.
To remove tarnish or oxidation film from silver you can use fresh, uncontaminated commercial silver dip liquid, polish paste or polish cloth, available in jewelry suppliers or hardware stores. Make sure there are no loose stones or parts. Limit the gemstone's exposure to silver cleaners - cleaners may harm certain kinds of gemstones. Please read product instruction before cleaning. Thoroughly rinse jewelry after cleaning, dry with a soft cloth until it's completely dry.
