Silver 925 Care Guide
What Sterling Silver 925 Is
Sterling Silver 925 is a precious metal known for its natural shine and warm tone.
It consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy for strength and durability.
It is a “living” metal — it reacts to its environment and develops character over time.
Why Sterling Silver Tarnishes
Tarnishing is a completely natural process.
It happens when silver comes into contact with:
- air
- humidity
- sweat
- skincare products
- perfumes
- chemicals
- the natural pH of the skin
This change in color is not a defect.
It is a sign of authenticity and part of the nature of real silver.
Silver Always Restores
With the right care, Sterling Silver 925 returns fully to its original shine, even if it has darkened noticeably.
Everyday Care
- Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth after each wear
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, oils, or hair products
- Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising
- Small, simple habits help maintain the natural glow of silver.
- Cleaning at Home
- A special silver-polishing cloth removes light tarnish instantly.
A few gentle strokes are often enough.
Storage
For best preservation:
- Keep jewelry in a dry place
- Store it inside the zip-lock pouch included with your order
- Avoid leaving silver exposed to open air for long periods
- Keep pieces separate to prevent scratching
- The airtight zip-lock pouch helps slow down the natural tarnishing process.
Gold-Plated Silver
Gold-plated silver needs softer handling:
- Avoid abrasive cloths
- Keep away from perfumes and lotions
- Store each piece separately
- Handle with extra care to maintain the plating
- Gold plating can be refreshed if it fades over time.
