Jewellery Care Guide

Your 92.5 sterling silver jewellery is made to be enjoyed and cherished. With a little care, you can help maintain its shine, finish, and beauty for years to come. Silver naturally develops tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture, sweat, cosmetics, and certain chemicals. This is a natural characteristic of sterling silver and not a sign of poor quality.

Everyday Care

To keep your Sathvik Silvers jewellery looking its best:

  • Remove your jewellery before showering, bathing, swimming, or exercising.

  • Avoid direct contact with perfume, deodorant, lotions, creams, makeup, hair sprays, and other cosmetics.

  • Keep your jewellery away from chlorine, bleach, household cleaners, and other harsh chemicals.

  • Avoid wearing jewellery while doing household chores, cooking, or heavy physical activities.

  • After wearing, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, clean and dry cloth to remove sweat, oils, or residue.

  • Handle delicate chains, clasps, stones, and intricate designs with care.

Exposure to humidity, perspiration, chlorine, cosmetics, and strong chemicals can accelerate tarnishing of sterling silver.

How to Store Your Silver Jewellery

Proper storage is one of the easiest ways to protect your jewellery.

  • Store each piece in a clean, dry jewellery pouch or box.

  • Keep pieces separately to prevent scratching, tangling, or rubbing against one another.

  • Store jewellery away from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive humidity.

  • Make sure your jewellery is completely dry before storing it.

  • If you live in a humid environment, a small silica gel/desiccant packet inside the storage box can help reduce moisture.

  • Avoid storing silver jewellery in contact with rubber bands or materials containing sulphur, which can contribute to tarnishing.

How to Clean 92.5 Silver Jewellery

Silver may naturally lose some of its shine or develop a darker appearance over time. This is called tarnishing and can generally be reduced with gentle cleaning.

For regular care, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, dry polishing cloth. If more cleaning is required, use a jewellery-safe silver cleaning method and follow the product instructions carefully.

Avoid abrasive materials or aggressive polishing, especially on jewellery with delicate detailing, gemstones, or special/oxidised finishes, as excessive polishing can affect the finish.

A Simple Rule to Remember

Wear it. Wipe it. Store it.

Wear your silver with care, wipe it gently after use, and store it safely when you're not wearing it. These simple habits can help your Sathvik Silvers jewellery retain its beauty and character for longer.

A Note About Tarnishing

Because 92.5 sterling silver is a natural precious-metal alloy, occasional tarnishing is normal. The rate of tarnishing can vary depending on humidity, skin chemistry, perspiration, cosmetics, and exposure to the environment.

Tarnishing does not mean your silver jewellery is damaged or of poor quality. With proper cleaning and care, the original shine can often be restored.
