How do I take care of my sterling silver jewellery?
How do I store my sterling silver jewellery?
Silver should be kept absolutely dry. If your silver is used frequently, keep it away from excessive exposure to air and store it in a tarnish-proof cloth such as the flannel pouch provided with your Tiffany & Co. silver or a silver storage box. Good storage boxes are lined with tarnish-proof fabric and have a separate space for each individual piece. If your climate is humid, place a small packet of desiccant crystals inside your storage area, whether it is a closed box or a flannel roll. Avoid contact with rubber bands or other rubber products. The sulfur in rubber causes tarnishing and corrosion.
How do I clean my sterling silver jewellery?
Silver Sterling silver is a precious metal and may require cleaning from time to time. Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs in sterling silver. Chlorine and bleach accelerate tarnishing and should be avoided.
Using a small amount of Tiffany’s silver jewellery cleaner on a soft cloth, gently rub the silver several times. Then rinse the silver thoroughly in warm water and carefully dry. This will remove the tarnish and dullness, keeping your sterling silver like new.
