💎 925 Sterling Silver Jewellery Care Guide
Your personal care guide from JewelHub™
💎 What You Have
Material: 925 sterling silver — composed of 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for added strength. Each piece is hallmarked and tested for authenticity.
Finish: May be polished, oxidized, satin, or rhodium-plated. Some designs include anti-tarnish coatings to extend brilliance and reduce maintenance.
🧼 Cleaning Tips
- Use a soft silver polishing cloth to gently restore shine and remove surface oxidation
- For deeper cleaning, wash with mild soap and warm water — rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth
- Clean monthly if worn regularly, especially after exposure to skin oils, sweat, or cosmetics
🚫 What to Avoid
- Moisture, perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals — all accelerate tarnish and dull the finish
- Scratching against harder metals or rough surfaces — may leave marks or wear down plating
- Leaving silver exposed to air without protection — store in an airtight pouch or anti-tarnish box
- Bleach, acetone, or abrasive cleaners of any kind
- Stacking with harder metals
💡 Quick Do's & Don'ts
| ✅ Do | 🚫 Don't |
|---|---|
| Polish with a soft cloth | Use bleach, acetone, or abrasive cleaners |
| Store in an airtight pouch | Leave exposed to air or humidity |
| Clean monthly if worn often | Stack with harder metals |
📏 Sizing & Fit Accuracy
All rings are mandrel-verified for precision. We provide full sizing transparency across UK, US, EU, CZ, diameter, and circumference formats. Charms, pendants, and bangles are measured by internal diameter for accurate fit and styling.
📊 Silver Facts
- Silver ranks 2.5–3 on the Mohs hardness scale — while flexible and wearable, it's prone to surface scratches
- Oxidation is natural and reversible — polishing restores brightness without damaging the metal
- Rhodium plating adds a protective layer and mirror-like shine, but may wear over time with friction
Sterling silver jewellery is timeless, versatile, and emotionally resonant. With mindful care, your piece will retain its lustre and legacy for years to come.
