How to care for silver jewellery so it shines longer

Silver tarnishes over time — this is a normal chemical oxidation process caused by contact with oxygen, moisture, sweat and cosmetics. The right care slows it down considerably and keeps the shine for years.

Wearing rules: take your jewellery off before showering or swimming in a pool or the sea — chlorine and salt speed up tarnishing. Apply perfume, creams and hairspray before putting on your jewellery, not after: the chemicals they contain are one of the main causes of silver tarnishing.

Storage: keep each piece separately — in a closed box, a soft pouch or a fabric-lined compartment of a jewellery box, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Contact with other metals also speeds up oxidation.

Cleaning: for regular care, simply wipe the piece with a soft silver polishing cloth — it restores the shine in seconds without chemicals. If a piece has noticeably darkened, you can use a special silver cleaning liquid or paste, avoiding abrasive products and toothpaste, which can scratch the surface.

Follow these simple rules and your СтоСяйв silver jewellery will serve you for years, keeping its shine.
