S925 SILVER JEWELRY – CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

S925 sterling silver is a high-quality precious metal that requires proper care and maintenance. Due to its natural properties, silver may oxidize (tarnish) and darken over time. This is a normal chemical process and does not necessarily indicate poor quality or a product defect.

To maintain the beauty and shine of your silver jewelry, we recommend:

• Avoid contact with water, especially salt water and chlorinated water.
• Protect jewelry from chemicals, cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes, fragrances, lotions, and creams.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sweat, moisture, and damp skin.
• Remove jewelry before bathing, showering, swimming, sleeping, exercising, washing dishes, or performing household chores.
• Protect jewelry from excessive pressure, friction, impacts, and other mechanical stress.
• After use, gently wipe the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth.
• Store jewelry in a clean, dry place, preferably separately from other jewelry.

What to do if your silver jewelry becomes tarnished?

Exposure to moisture, sweat, chemicals, and other environmental factors may accelerate the natural oxidation process.

If tarnishing occurs, use a special silver polishing cloth or an appropriate silver cleaning product to restore its original shine.

Extra care is required for gold-plated, rhodium-plated, or stone-set jewelry, as unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surface, plating, or decorative elements.

In cases of heavy oxidation or persistent discoloration, we recommend professional cleaning by a qualified jeweler.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Natural oxidation (tarnishing) is a normal characteristic of sterling silver and does not, by itself, constitute a product defect.

We are not responsible for damage caused by improper use, inadequate maintenance, mechanical damage, or exposure to unsuitable substances.

This notice does not limit or exclude the customer’s statutory consumer rights in cases of product non-conformity.

With proper care, your silver jewelry will retain its beauty and shine for a long time.

1. Regular Cleaning:
Use a soft microfiber or jewelry cloth to wipe your silver daily or after wearing it to remove oils, dirt, and sweat.

2. Gentle Soap Solution:
Mix warm water with a mild dish soap.
Soak the jewelry for 5-10 minutes.
Gently scrub using a soft-bristle toothbrush or cloth.
Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

3. Silver Polish:
For tarnished pieces, use a silver-specific polish.
Apply the polish with a soft cloth, working in straight motions (avoid circular rubbing to prevent scratches).
Buff the jewelry until it shines.

4. Homemade Tarnish Remover:
Line a bowl with aluminum foil and add a mixture of hot water, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Place the silver jewelry in the bowl, ensuring it touches the foil.
Let it sit for a few minutes; then rinse and dry

Storage Tips
Avoid Exposure to Air: Store silver in airtight bags or anti-tarnish cloth pouches to prevent tarnish.
Separate Storage: Keep silver pieces separate to avoid scratches from other jewelry.
Silica Gel or Anti-Tarnish Strips: Add these to your storage containers to absorb moisture.
Keep Away from Chemicals:
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or using cleaning products.
Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays.

There are also special magnetic cloths, solutions and foams for silver jewelry.
Every now and then, jewelry can also be cleaned by a professional jeweler.
