925 sterling silver darkens over time, and that is normal. A few simple rules help keep the item looking good for longer, and the table below helps you choose a ring size.
-
Darkening is normal
925 sterling silver darkens over time. It is a property of the metal, not a defect.
-
Take it off before water
Take off rings and chains before a shower, the pool and cleaning with household chemicals.
-
Store separately
In a dry place, apart from other jewellery.
-
Clean with a soft cloth
With a soft cloth or a special silver cleaning cloth. No toothpaste or abrasives.
-
Do not polish the blackening
On blackened items it is part of the design, not dirt.
-
Stones and enamel
Do not heat such items or put them in an ultrasonic bath.
