Tips to store your silver jewellery
1. Tips to store your silver jewellery
Silver, being a precious metal is used for designing and crafting beautiful jewellery pieces that can
last for a lifetime if taken proper care. Silver is a soft metal so it can go out of shape easily and also
tends to tarnish. However, silver jewellery if properly maintained improves with time and retains the
shine.
To limit the tarnishing and staining of silver pieces it is advised to store and place them properly.
Here are some tips to store your silver jewellery.
1. Place your silver earrings and other jewellery pieces in a fabric lined jewellery case. Use a
box that has different compartments to store delicate pieces or if using a regular box, wrap
the pieces in soft cloth or tissue paper, this will keep them separate so the pieces do not rub
against each other and scratch.
2. Besides, jewellery box, you could also use organising boxes that have hanger like hooks
where you can hang each piece separately. It is a good way to keep your jewellery separate
yet visible.
3. Do not keep your silver pieces lying against wood as it contains acid that reacts with silver
and mars its surface. The same goes with paper and cardboard as they too are made up of
wood pulp.
2. 4. Clean your delicate jewellery with soft flannel cloth as synthetic materials can cause
scratching.
5. For removing light dirt, wash your jewellery with mild liquid detergent and rinse with warm
water. For removing heavy dirt or tarnish you need to use silver cleaner or silver dip that
comes in paste or liquid form.
