Your jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s an investment and a reflection of your style. At Aron Jewelry, we understand the importance of maintaining the beauty and brilliance of your 92.5 sterling silver pieces. Here are our top 10 tips to keep your jewelry looking as pristine as the day you bought it.
- Clean Regularly
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the shine of your jewelry. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your pieces after wearing them. For a deeper clean, use a solution of mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals and make sure to rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
- Store Properly
Proper storage can prevent your jewelry from tarnishing and scratching. Store each piece in its own cloth pouch or a jewelry box with separate compartments. Consider using anti-tarnish pouches or cloths to further protect against oxidation.
- Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Chemicals found in household cleaning products, perfumes, and lotions can tarnish or damage your jewelry. Always apply these products before putting on your jewelry and avoid wearing pieces while using harsh chemicals.
- Remove Jewelry During Activities
Take off your jewelry during activities that could expose it to potential damage. This includes exercising, swimming, or engaging in household chores. Even sweat and chlorine can cause tarnishing and wear over time.
- Check for Loose Stones
Regularly inspect your jewelry for loose stones or signs of wear. If you notice any issues, take your piece to a professional jeweler for repairs. Prompt attention can prevent further damage and ensure your jewelry remains in top condition.
- Polish with Care
If your jewelry loses its luster, use a silver polishing cloth to gently restore its shine. Avoid using abrasive materials or over-polishing, as this can scratch the surface and reduce the jewelry’s finish.
- Avoid Wearing Jewelry While Sleeping
Sleeping with jewelry on can cause it to become scratched or damaged. Remove your pieces before bed to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. This also prevents potential tangling or snagging on bedding.
- Use Jewelry-Specific Cleaning Solutions
For a more thorough clean, use cleaning solutions specifically designed for sterling silver. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure that the solution is suitable for your type of jewelry.
- Keep Jewelry Away from Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause some gemstones to fade or change color. Store your jewelry in a cool, dark place to maintain its original appearance and protect it from UV damage.
- Professional Maintenance
Schedule regular check-ups with a professional jeweler. They can perform detailed cleaning, inspect settings, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your jewelry remains in excellent condition.
