How to Maintain Silver Jewellery

How to Maintain Silver Jewellery


1)Water is the main reason for the damage of silver jewellery. Thus while going for a bath, swim or even for spa or steam baths make sure you remove your silver jewellery. Many people think that wiping it well with dry cloths removes the affect of water but that is completely a wrong notion. Water is so damaging that one should avoid keeping it in damp places in the room.
 2)To increase the longevity and texture of the silver jewellery it is best to keep it in a closet or in a box. Dirt or dust never collects over the surfaces and the luster and look is sustained for long. Atleast make sure you have wrapped them in tissue or cotton after removal.
3)Make sure that the silver jewellery that you wear is not exposed to scratches. This is found in bangles or wristlets mostly which are constantly exposed to the desk surfaces leading to scratch marks on its surface and even discolourization of a part of the silver jewellery.
4)Remember to keep away cosmetics and chemical products away from your silver jewellery. Thus make sure they do not come in contact with any kind of body lotions, perfumes or deodorants. This may actually lead to darkening of the metal.
