5 Precious Sterling Silver Necklace Storage Tips | We Got The Silver

 Have a favourite personalised silver necklace that you can't imagine leaving home without wearing? Dressing up is never complete without a trendy necklace, earrings, bracelets, or other accessories. There's no denying that it's such an easy way to add instant glam to any outfit. However, if you don't take good care of your jewellery, all the sparkle won't last as long as you'd like. 

Even though you love your chunky sterling silver necklace and want to wear it all the time, you must know when it is appropriate to remove it. It is recommended that you avoid wearing delicate silver jewellery while cooking, exercising, swimming, or performing household chores. Additionally, you should avoid extreme exposure to heat and light as silver as well as gemstones may fade or discolour under these conditions.

5 Tips For Storing Sterling Silver Jewellery

1. Be sure to clean your jewellery before storing it: 

Since sweat brings in moisture, it can tarnish silver jewellery. It is therefore very important to clean the jewellery pieces from sweat and store them in concealed boxes before storing them.

2. Use Airtight boxes

A Sterling silver pendant necklace should be stored in an airtight box or anti-tarnishing wooden box to extend its life. You shouldn't store them in uncoated wooden boxes because they will lose their colour or lustre.

3. Use anti-tarnish paper or cloth to prevent tarnish

Silver jewellery should be wrapped in soft cloth (like muslin) to retain its shine and prevent discolouration. Alternatively, you can use tissue paper or anti-tarnish paper to wrap each piece of jewellery. Newspapers should never be used to wrap them.

4. Keep Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace Separate

It is not a good idea to keep two different types of jewellery in the same box. You should store your jewellery in a separate jewellery box or secure container to avoid scratching and breaking it.

5. Use Silica gel or activated charcoal

Keep small sachets of silica gel or activated charcoal inside the box with your silver jewellery. Using them will prevent the tarnishing of your sterling silver jewellery as they absorb moisture.

Final Words

When dressing up, always put your jewellery on last. To avoid damage to delicate items, it should be done after using cosmetics, perfume, and lotions. As a final suggestion make sure to buy sterling silver jewellery from a credible source.
