How to Care for Your Silver Jewelry (and Keep It Looking New)
Share
S925 sterling silver is one of the most beautiful materials in jewelry — but it needs a little love to stay that way. Here's everything you need to know to keep your Miyeri pieces looking their best.
Why Does Silver Tarnish?
Tarnish happens when silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air or on your skin. The good news? It's completely preventable — and reversible.
Daily Care Tips
- Put your jewelry on last. Apply perfume, lotion, and hairspray before you put on your pieces. Chemicals accelerate tarnish.
- Take it off before swimming or showering. Chlorine and saltwater are silver's worst enemies.
- Pat dry after wear. Sweat and moisture speed up oxidation.
Storage
- Store pieces individually in soft pouches or the Miyeri box to prevent scratching.
- Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Add a small anti-tarnish strip to your jewelry drawer for extra protection.
Cleaning Your Miyeri Jewelry
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.
- Gently rub with a soft cloth or a soft-bristle toothbrush.
- Rinse with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Avoid paper towels — they can scratch the surface.
