How to Clean and Care for Your Handmade Silver Jewellery
Handcrafted sterling silver is made to last a lifetime, but regular wear can cause it to tarnish naturally over time. Luckily, restoring the bright, beautiful shine to your sentimental keepsakes is incredibly simple to do at home.
Here is our quick, gentle guide to caring for your silver pieces.
The Quick Home Cleaning Method
Instead of harsh chemical dips, use this safe, 3-step routine:
- Soak: Submerge your jewelry in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 5 minutes.
- Brush: Use a baby-soft toothbrush to gently clean intricate details, Note: Avoid scrubbing delicate accents like resin enamel hearts.
- Dry & Polish: Rinse thoroughly, dry completely with a soft microfibre cloth, and buff gently with a professional jewellery polishing cloth.
3 Simple Habits to Prevent Tarnish

- Last On, First Off: Put your jewellery on after your perfume, lotion, and makeup to avoid chemical buildup.
- Remove for Water: Take your silver off before showering, swimming, or entering hot tubs to protect it from chlorine and moisture.
- Store Sealed: When you aren't wearing your keepsakes, store them in a small, airtight zip-lock bag inside your jewelry box to limit oxygen exposure.
