How to care for your children's and baby's jewelry:

Our Sterling Silver is High Quality: The only Silver used in our products is high quality 925 sterling silver. This composition for Sterling Silver is considered to be the fine jewelry standard.

Preventing Silver Tarnish: If worn often, silver RARELY shows signs of tarnishing, since the small amount of rubbing against your skin or clothes will keep it polished and completely clean. However, silver can still tarnish as a result of environmental factors.

Some tips for keeping your silver bright especially if you live in an area where silver tarnishes more quickly:

  • Wear your silver jewelry: Silver usually will not tarnish when worn, since it is constantly being rubbed on your skin or clothes.
  • When not being worn, place your jewelry in a zip lock plastic bag with as little air inside as possible, this will minimize the exposure to moisture and Sulphur in the air.
  • Place your silver jewelry in a jewelry box that is lined with anti-tarnish fabric. Most jewelry boxes contain this type of fabric to prevent jewelry from tarnishing.
  • Place an anti-tarnish strip or tab in the place where you keep your jewelry, this will act just like the anti-tarnish fabric in jewelry boxes.

 

Removing Tarnish:

Here are some great ways to remove tarnish once it has taken hold:

  • Polishing Cloth. Rub silver areas that show tarnish with a jewelry polishing cloth (we include one with almost every piece of jewelry we sell for free) to quickly remove light tarnish and protect against future tarnishing.
  • Chemical Dip. A chemical dip is a great way to remove more substantial tarnish. Simply dip silver jewelry in the solution. Be careful to not get solution on other jewelry parts, especially pearls, as this dip will remove the natural luster of pearls and dull them and is not recommended for most of our jewelry.
