JEWELLERY CARE
SILVER CARE
Sterling silver is a durable and timeless metal, but like all precious materials, it benefits from a little care. To maintain its shine, avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, oils, and harsh chemicals, as these can contribute to tarnishing and dullness over time.
Cleaning
Light Cleaning
Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft polishing cloth to remove everyday oils and restore shine.
Deeper Cleaning
Wash with mild soap and warm water, using a soft brush if needed. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Tarnish Prevention
Store your silver jewellery in an airtight container or pouch when not in use.
Anti-tarnish strips can help protect against oxidation.
Avoid exposure to household cleaners, chemicals, and moisture.
Wearing your silver regularly can naturally help prevent tarnish and keep it looking its best.
Polishing
For occasional tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or a small amount of silver polishing paste. Rinse and dry thoroughly after polishing.
A Note on Handmade Jewellery
Each ABOVEARTH piece is handcrafted with care and intended to be worn, loved, and lived in. Small signs of wear are a natural part of your jewellery's journey and tell the story of the moments it has shared with you.
Clean gemstone jewelry separately with appropriate methods.
Be gentle with intricate or delicate designs.
Professional Care
Consider professional cleaning for heavily tarnished or intricate pieces.
