Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry

To preserve the beauty of your sterling silver jewelry, follow these
steps:

* Exposure to the air causes silver to tarnish, so keep your sterling
silver jewelry in a bag made from tarnish-proof cloth, or in airtight
container.

* Avoid allowing your sterling silver jewelry to have prolonged
contact with wood, as some woods contain acids that can dull the
finish.

* Alcohol, acetone, bleach, ammonia, and turpentine can damage
sterling silver jewelry, so be sure to remove your rings and other
sterling silver jewelry before using these products.

* Regularly wipe down your sterling silver jewelry with a 100% cotton
cloth, using a lengthwise, rather than circular motion.

* Remove light tarnish with a silver cloth, available at mass
merchandisers and from jewelers.

* To remove heavy tarnish, use a liquid or paste silver polish and
rinse with warm water. Make sure to dry it thoroughly before storing
it in its cloth or airtight bag.
