General care

• Avoid swimming or showering while wearing your jewelry.
• Avoid exposing your jewelry to chlorine, salt water, or other corrosive substances.
• Avoid exposing your jewelry to household cleaning products.

Cleaning

• When you remove your jewelry, wipe it with a clean soft cotton or flannel cloth to remove perspiration, oils, or other air pollutants which might contain chlorine or sulfur.
• Use only a clean soft cloth, a soft brush, or a polishing cloth to clean your jewelry.
• Don’t use silver polish or dipping solutions as they will remove the finish.

Maintenance

• Inspect your jewelry regularly for damage or potential problems.
• Wearing your sterling silver jewelry regularly will help prevent unintended tarnish.
• Store your jewelry individually in the tarnish/corrosion resistant pouches or a soft cloth lined box wrapped in tissue paper to prevent scratches and tarnish.
• Be mindful that Silver plated pieces will wear and turn with excessive wear
