Care
Silver is a precious and soft metal therefore we have to mix copper in this metal. Copper gives silver durability and prevent from damages. Sterling silver consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Oxygen and sulfur that are mixed in air do reaction with silver and make it tarnished. Care will prevent silver from getting tarnished. Silver jewelry should be wear with extra care that prevents it from scratches. To minimize scratches silver jewelry should be stored in cloth pouch, Small zip lock bags or in separate velvet compartment in your jewelry box. Silver Jewelry often has rhodium plating. This plating gives silver platinum look. Generally this plating is tarnish resistant. You can clean it with a polishing cloth or with a jewelry cleaning cloth. Silver that does not contain rhodihum plating is also cleaned in the same way, but will require more frequent polishing to maintain its luster. Brand new jewelry can be cleaned with jewelry cleaning cloth. If your jewelry appears dull with time, or requires deep cleaning we recommend you clean it with jewelry cleaning cloth. Make sure the jewelry is dry. Rub it with cloth and buff it with your cleaning cloth. Never dip your jewelry because some gemstones like turquoise, pearl and rhodium plated jewelry losses its real finishing. May be this process can be used with sterling silver jewelry that not embedded gemstones or not containing rhodium polish. Never use toothpaste because toothpaste containing small granules that can leave scratches on your silver.
