CARE FOR YOUR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY
Gold, platinum and sterling silver are precious metals. Sterling silver requires some care being that it will chemically react and yellow or blacken with a film called tarnish. This is caused by oxygen in the air, perspiration, body chemistry or chlorine. Most pieces today have a protective coating to slow down the tarnishing process. It is recommend keeping your sterling silver away from swimming pools and hot tubs. When not in use, store in a zip lock bag. Liquid silver dips are strong chemicals and should only be used for a few seconds. Never leave your jewelry in the solution as it will tarnish beyond the point of returning shiny again. Using a silver polishing cloth is a less messy option.
