sterling silver loves being close to your body as rubbing against your skin provides a gentle yet effective polish. when not worn daily, it can slowly oxidize-some call this ‘tarnish’ and others ‘patina’. this is strictly on the surface and does not ruin the silver. in fact, it protects it.

to prevent the oxidizing, avoid: 

• humidity (bathroom, sauna, swimming)
• salt, chlorine or sulfur (sweat, sea/pool water, perfume)

to care:

• store in a container
• use gentle soap and water for general cleaning
• gently rub with the polishing cloth, when time calls for a full revival
