Silver Maintenance Tips
- Polish your silver jewelry regularly using non-abrasive soft cleaning cloth, or with lukewarm water. Gently brush it clean and then rinse it in clean water. To remove caked-on dirt, let it soak for 10 minutes in lukewarm soapy water. Gently brush it clean then rinse in clean water. For a shinier surface, polish with a cloth and a cleaning solution.
- Do not expose jewelry to chemicals. Silver is given detail through oxidation. Exposure to harsh chemicals can alter the appearance of your NameNecklace products. These chemicals include, but are not limited to, Liquid Silver Polish, Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas. Oxidized silver and pearls are easily damaged. Water itself does not damage sterling silver, it’s the chemicals in the water that can cause it to change color, so never wear your sterling silver jewelry in a hot tub, mineral spring, swimming pool, or any other chemically treated water.
- When you are not using your jewelry, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as well as harsh substances like chlorine. Store them in a cool, dry place, a zip-lock bag, or an individual cloth pouch to help prevent both tarnishing and scratching.
