Taking Care of Your Silver

6/7/2013

One of the frustrations of owning silver jewelry is that it tarnishes.  For most people, frequent wearing keeps silver jewelry relatively clean.  But what about those other pieces that just hang out in our jewelry boxes until we go to put them on, only to find that they are too dirty to bother with at the last minute?

Yuck!
If you aren't a professional jeweler with access to buffing and ultra sonic machines, what should you do?

Polishing clothes are a good, cheap way to clean jewelry, but take a lot of elbow grease.  The drawback to a polishing cloth is that it's difficult to get into small grooves in metal.  My favorite way to clean jewelry is Wright's Silver Cream.  It is gentle, safe on most stones, and super easy.  A small tub will likely last a lifetime and is worth the investment.

Most importantly, the best way to keep already clean jewelry clean is to keep it in an airtight zip lock plastic bag.  Exposure to air is what causes the oxidation to take place on otherwise lovely silver.  So save yourself some time and effort by keeping your jewelry in bags.

If you are interested in purchasing a polishing cloth or cream, just click on the links below.

    I started to work on this blog but that dog up there distracted me with his antics.  Check back soon though--surely he can't keep this up all day.
