What are some tips for maintaining sterling silver jewelry?Prevent your sterling silver jewelry from being scratched by storing each trinket in a different compartment of your jewelry box, airtight plastic bag, or cloth. Wear your silver often because your body's natural oils help to preserve this metal. Handle jewelry carefully, taking care not to put unnecessary pressure where pieces are fused together or where a necklace, bracelet, or other trinket fastens.
How do you keep jewelry clean?To minimize dull, tarnished, and smudged jewelry, do not put it on until after you have applied products and cosmetics such as moisturizer, makeup, and perfume. Wash your hands before handling the jewelry. Do not wear your silver when you go swimming, shower, or when you use a hot tub. If your silver gets wet, dry it with a cloth as soon as possible to prevent stains.
How do you clean silver jewelry?Usually, an occasional polishing is all that is necessary unless silver is exposed to air and humidity for long periods of time. Polish pieces with an unused portion of a polishing cloth, microfiber cloth, or lint-free flannel cloth. Use strokes that go with the grain of the silver, and never rub in circles.
When a polishing cloth is not enough, wash silver with warm water and mild dish soap that is free of ammonia and phosphate. Then, gently scrub your silver with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-gel, non-whitening toothpaste. You can also make a baking soda and water paste and use that. Then, rinse thoroughly, dry, and polish with your jewelry cloth.
How do you measure for ring size?Use a strip of paper 6 inches long and 1/4-inch wide. Wrap it around the base of your finger so that it fits as snug as you like, and mark where the end of the strip overlaps. Measure this length in millimeters to convert to standard U.S. ring sizes.
