Sterling silver is a high-quality, precious, genuine metal that can develop a natural patina over time. With proper care, however, your jewelry will retain its shine – often for a lifetime.

Sterling silver consists of:

• 92.5% pure silver
• 7.5% alloy metals (mostly copper, sometimes also zinc or other metals)

This makes it more robust than pure silver , but it is still a rather soft precious metal .

With a few simple habits, your silver jewelry will stay beautiful and shiny for a long time:

💧 Avoid frequent contact with water:
Washing your hands briefly is no problem, but you should remove your jewelry before showering, bathing or swimming.

🌸 Caution with cosmetics & chemicals:
Perfume, hairspray, lotions, cleaning agents or chlorinated water can attack the surface and accelerate tarnishing.

☀️ Store in a dry place:
Moisture causes silver to oxidize faster. Therefore, store your jewelry in a dry place – ideally in a soft pouch or jewelry box.

✨ Clean regularly:
A soft silver polishing cloth is usually sufficient to maintain shine and color. For heavier tarnish, a mild silver cleaning agent will help.

🫶 Wipe briefly after wearing:
This is how you remove sweat or residue and prevent discoloration.

📖 Note:

Slight color changes or a darker patina are natural characteristics of genuine silver and not a quality defect.
With a little care, the original shine can be restored at any time.
