Why Does 925 Silver Jewelry Tarnish?
Silver jewelry is gorgeous, but it’s also sensitive. Tarnishing happens when silver reacts with sulfur and moisture in the air, forming a dull layer. If you live in a humid area or regularly use perfumes and lotions, your silver might tarnish faster. Basically, silver has a love-hate relationship with the weather and beauty products. But don’t worry—a little care can go a long way!
How Often Should You Clean Your 925 Silver Jewelry?
Think of silver cleaning like skincare—daily care keeps it glowing, while occasional deep cleaning prevents buildup.
-
Daily Cleaning: After wearing, gently wipe your jewelry with a velvet or microfiber cloth to remove dirt and oils.
-
Deep Cleaning: Plan a thorough cleaning session once a month, especially for pieces you wear often.
Bonus tip: The more you wear silver jewelry, the less it tarnishes because your skin’s natural oils act as a barrier. So, wear it often (but clean it right)!
