Thank you for choosing Divine Vault for your jewelry needs. To ensure that your stainless steel and sterling silver pieces remain as beautiful as the day you received them, we’ve created the following care instructions. Proper care will help preserve the longevity and shine of your jewelry.
Stainless Steel Jewelry Care
Stainless steel is known for its durability and resistance to tarnish, but it can still be affected by certain conditions. Here’s how to care for your stainless steel jewelry:
- Clean Regularly: To maintain its shine, clean your stainless steel jewelry using warm water and a small amount of mild soap. Use a soft cloth or soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt and oils.
- Dry Properly: After cleaning, ensure your jewelry is completely dry. Pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry before storing.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stainless steel can react with harsh chemicals. Keep your jewelry away from perfumes, lotions, household cleaners, or chlorine, as these can cause damage.
- Storage: Store your stainless steel jewelry in a cool, dry place. A jewelry box with individual compartments is ideal for preventing scratches and tangling.
Sterling Silver Jewelry Care
Sterling silver is prone to tarnishing over time due to its natural reaction with air and moisture. To keep your sterling silver pieces looking their best, follow these tips:
- Keep it Clean: Clean your sterling silver jewelry with a polishing cloth designed for silver. For more thorough cleaning, use a solution of mild soap and water and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
- Avoid Tarnishing: Tarnishing can occur more quickly when sterling silver is exposed to moisture, sweat, or chemicals. Remove jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising to help prevent tarnish.
- Store Properly: Store your sterling silver jewelry in a tarnish-resistant pouch or cloth bag. Keeping it away from sunlight and humidity will slow the tarnishing process.
- Polish Regularly: Regular polishing with a silver polishing cloth will help remove tarnish and restore shine. For stubborn tarnish, a commercial silver cleaner can be used, but be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Important Care Considerations
- Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, and household cleaners can affect both stainless steel and sterling silver. Always remove your jewelry before applying these products.
- Storage: Always store your jewelry in a dry, cool place when not in use. Avoid keeping pieces in humid areas like bathrooms.
