Jewelry Care
925 silver jewelry
Regular cleaning
925 silver can tarnish on contact with air and light. To clean it, follow these simple steps.
- Gentle method : Use a soft, lint-free cloth to polish your jewelry regularly. This will help remove fingerprints and surface dirt.
- More in-depth method : Prepare a solution with warm water, a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid and a little baking soda. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Proper storage
When you are not wearing your 925 silver jewelry, store it properly
- Individual Pouches : Store each piece of jewelry in a soft fabric pouch to prevent scratches.
- Jewelry Box : Use a jewelry box lined with anti-tarnish fabric. Make sure the jewelry does not touch each other to avoid friction and scratches.
Daily precautions
- Avoid water and chemicals : Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering or using household products. Chlorine, salt and chemicals can tarnish silver.
- Put jewelry on last : First apply your beauty products (perfumes, creams, hairspray) before putting on your jewelry to avoid direct contact with these products.
Professional polishing
For optimal maintenance, it is recommended to have your jewelry polished by a professional once a year. This will restore their original shine and check the general condition of your pieces.
Specific cleaning products
Use cleaning products specially designed for 925 silver. You can find impregnated wipes or cleaning baths in jewelry stores.
Stainless steel jewelry
Regular cleaning
Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe your stainless steel jewelry after wearing it. This will remove traces of dirt, sweat and cosmetic product residue.
Avoid chemicals
Keep your stainless steel jewelry away from contact with harsh chemicals such as perfumes, body lotions, household cleaners and cosmetics. These substances can tarnish or damage the surface of stainless steel.
Proper storage
When you are not wearing your stainless steel jewelry, store it in a dry, clean place. Avoid leaving them in direct contact with other metal jewelry which could cause scratches.
Avoid sea water
Although stainless steel is corrosion resistant, prolonged exposure to seawater can affect its shine. It is therefore recommended to remove your stainless steel jewelry before swimming in the sea or a swimming pool.
