Caring for your Sterling Silver Jewelry

We use the finest formula for Sterling Silver available on the market today. It does contain anti-tarnishing agents. However, all fine sterling silver does tarnish. We recommend that you do not wear it in the shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean, and swimming pool. All of this exposure will only quicken the tarnishing process. The high chlorine and/or Bromine contents used in swimming pools and hot tubs will accelerate the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry. Sometimes the high content of minerals in your water source will accelerate the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry. And even sometimes the chemical makeup and oils of your skin will accelerate the tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewelry.

Removing Black Tarnish from Sterling Silver Jewelry

Removing black tarnish from your Sterling Silver Jewelry may be accomplished by placing a double layer of aluminum foil in the bottom of a dishpan, adding warm water and 2 - 3 heaping tablespoons of baking soda. Place the black tarnished item in the dishpan in contact with the aluminum foil, allow to soak for a few minutes and the tarnish will come off. Rinse the items well and buff with a soft polishing cloth to restore luster.
