Use your sterling silver daily to keep it shiny and bright.
Keep silver in a moisture free environment.
Avoid all-purpose metal polishes and dip cleaners, look for a non-abrasive foaming paste cleaner.
Wear gloves to protect your rings when cleaning the house.
You should ideally remove all jewelry before showering, or swimming, basically any task that may bring you into contact with chemicals that may damage your jewelry.
Avoid storing sterling silver jewelry directly on wood surfaces, because woods usually contain acid that can mar the finish.
Avoid storing sterling silver with other metals, the other metals will also cause tarnish and damage.
Don’ts:
Do not wear make up, perfume after wearing sterling silver.
Do not wrap silver in any type of plastic.
Never tie or wrap silver with newspaper or rubber bands which contains high amount of sulfur that lead to tarnishing.
How to remove tarnish:
Just use a small amount of mild liquid detergent to a 1/2 cup of warm water and rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water. (Remember be careful because too harsh of a cleanser could damage the polish on the stones.)
