How to Care for Silver Jewelry: Tips and Cleaning Methods

Silver jewelry, with its timeless elegance, versatility, and hypoallergenic properties, is a beloved choice for many. At Solene Paris, we solely use S925 Sterling Silver to craft jewelry pieces. Despite our good quality, your Solene Paris silver jewelry requires proper care to maintain its shine and beauty.

Daily Care Tips

Wear Regularly

Believe it or not, wearing your silver jewelry often can help keep it tarnish-free. The natural oils on your skin can help clean the silver and keep it looking shiny.

Avoid Exposure

Keep your silver jewelry away from chemicals like household cleaners, chlorine, and even beauty products such as hairspray, lotion, and perfume. These can cause tarnishing and damage.

Store Properly

Store your silver pieces in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container or a jewelry box lined with anti-tarnish cloth. Keep each piece separate to prevent scratching. With each piece you purchase, we provide a storage solution designed to keep your beloved Solene jewelry tarnish-free.

Cleaning Methods

Polishing Cloth

The simplest way to clean silver is by using a special silver polishing cloth. Gently rub the piece to remove tarnish and restore shine. Your purchase at Solene Paris also comes with silver polishing clothes, equipping you with the proper tools to care for your jewelry. However, please avoid over-polishing, which can wear down the silver over time.

Mild Soap and Water

For a gentle clean, use warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Soak the jewelry for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

Baking Soda and Water

Create a paste using three parts baking soda to one part water. Apply the paste to the jewelry using a soft cloth or sponge and rub gently. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Aluminum Foil and Baking Soda

Line a bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Place the jewelry in the bowl, add a tablespoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of salt. Pour hot water over the jewelry until it’s covered. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry.

By following these care and cleaning tips, you can keep your silver jewelry looking as beautiful as the day you bought it. Happy shining!
