How to care for sterling silver jewellery:
To keep your sterling silver jewellery looking its best, follow these care tips:

Remove your jewellery:
- Before Swimming: Chlorine and saltwater can damage silver.
- During Physical Activities: Remove jewellery before exercising to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
- While Cooking: Certain ingredients, like vinegar and acidic foods, can tarnish silver, so it's best to take off your pieces while preparing meals.
- While Applying Products: Take off your jewellery before using lotions, perfumes, or cleaning agents to avoid buildup and discoloration.
- Before Sleeping: Store your jewellery safely to prevent tangling or accidental damage.

Clean your jewellery:
- Regular Wipe Down: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewellery after wearing to remove oils and dirt.
- Mild Soap Solution: For deeper cleaning, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewellery for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth.

Polish your silver:
- Silver Polishing Cloth: Use a specialised silver polishing cloth to restore shine. Gently rub the surface until it gleams.
- Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Steer clear of harsh chemicals and abrasive materials, which can scratch and dull the surface.

Storage Tips:
- Keep It Dry: Store your jewellery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use Anti-Tarnish Pouches: Consider using anti-tarnish pouches or cloths to help prevent tarnishing when storing your items.

By following these care tips, you’ll ensure your sterling silver jewellery remains in great condition for years to come.
