How to Care for Your 925 Silver Jewellery

A few simple steps can keep your silver shining beautifully for years.

Daily Wear

1. Wear it last, remove it first

Apply perfume, lotion, hairspray or makeup before wearing your jewellery. Remove jewellery before changing clothes to avoid accidental pulling or breaking.

Avoid

2. Keep away from harsh chemicals

Avoid contact with:

  • Perfumes, deodorants and hairsprays
  • Soaps, shampoos and detergents
  • Chlorine water (swimming pools)
  • Household cleaning products

These can dull the shine or damage plating over time.

Storage

3. Store it the right way

When not in use:

  • Store jewellery in a dry place, away from moisture.
  • Use zip-lock pouches or airtight boxes.
  • Keep pieces separate to avoid scratches and tangling.
Cleaning

4. Cleaning your silver

Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat, oil and dust.

For deeper cleaning, use a silver polishing cloth only. Avoid abrasive cleaners, toothpaste or harsh scrubbing.

Tarnish

5. Why does silver darken?

Real 925 silver may naturally oxidise (darken) over time when exposed to air, humidity or chemicals. This is normal and can usually be cleaned with a silver polishing cloth.
