How to Care for Silver Jewellery

Simple habits that keep your silver looking new for years
July 26, 2026 by

925 Sterling Silver is durable, but a little care goes a long way in keeping it bright and tarnish-free.

Store it right

Keep pieces in an airtight pouch or box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Storing jewellery flat, not tangled together, also prevents scratches.

Keep it away from chemicals

Remove your silver before swimming, showering, or applying perfume and lotion — chlorine and chemicals speed up tarnishing.

Clean it gently

A soft silver polishing cloth is usually enough for routine care. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution followed by a thorough dry works well.

Wear it often

Counter-intuitively, silver that's worn regularly tends to tarnish less than silver left untouched in storage — the natural oils from skin help keep it polished.
