Silver Care Guide

Here's a step-by-step guide to maintaining sterling silver to keep it in good condition and preserve its shine:

1. Understanding Sterling Silver:

Sterling silver, often marked 925, is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper, to enhance the durability of the silver. It is a delicate material that requires care to prevent tarnishing and damage.

2. Sterling Silver Care:

Here is the explanation of the most suitable method:

Use the "LAVIERAZ" cleaning cloth provided when you purchase your jewelry. It is specially designed to remove tarnish and restore shine. Gently rub the silver of the jewelry with the cloth, avoiding circular movements that could scratch the surface.

3. Preventive maintenance:

To prevent sterling silver from tarnishing or scratching, here are some precautions to take:

• Proper storage: Avoid humidity as it accelerates oxidation, so store your silver items in a dry place. Use the "LAVIERAZ" fabric pouch to avoid scratches and limit exposure to air.

• Avoid contact with chemicals. Remove your silver jewelry before showering, swimming in chlorinated pools, or cleaning with harsh chemicals. Perspiration, perfumes, lotions, and other beauty products can tarnish silver, so put your jewelry on after applying these products.

Bottom Line : By taking care of your sterling silver items with regular cleaning and proper maintenance, you can preserve their shine and beauty for many years to come. Avoiding chemicals and moisture is essential, as is using gentle cleaning and natural solutions, which are always preferable to maintain the integrity of the material.
