How to Care for Your Pure 925 Silver Jewellery
Pure 925 silver is durable and beautiful, but it needs light care to stay bright. Follow these quick, practical steps so your rings, bracelets and earrings look new for years.
Daily care (the easiest things)
- Remove silver jewellery before showering, swimming or exercising.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and hair products — apply them first, then wear jewellery.
- Wipe pieces gently with a soft cotton cloth after wearing to remove skin oils.
Cleaning — safe, quick methods
Use these methods depending on how tarnished the piece is:
- Light cleaning: Soft cloth + gentle silver polish or a microfibre cloth.
- Home soak: Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, soak 5–10 mins, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Deep clean: Baking soda paste (baking soda + water) — rub gently, rinse fully and dry.
Storage tips
- Store pieces separately to avoid scratches (individual pouches or compartments).
- Use anti-tarnish strips or silica gel.
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
When to see a professional
If a piece has stones, complex settings or heavy tarnish, take it to a trusted jeweller for ultrasonic cleaning or inspection.
Pro tip: Regular light care beats deep cleaning — wipe after every wear and store.
