How to Care for Your Sterling Jewelry

Over time, sterling silver jewelry can tarnish/darken (oxidation). You can prevent/delay this process by removing your jewelry prior to bathing, swimming or exercising. You should avoid sprays, oils, lotions, or water directly on your jewelry as well. Naturally occurring chemical reactions over time will oxidize (darken) your piece. This is called oxidation (natural patina). Many of the pieces I make have been given a dark patina and antiqued and then the high points are polished to give contrast. If your piece darkens everywhere, you can get a polishing cloth and polish the high spots by hand to refresh the contrast and remove the oxidation from those high points. You can slow the natural patina process by storing your jewelry in separate plastic bags with an anti-tarnish strip or in a cloth pouch or jewelry box in a dark place when not wearing your pieces.

 

Do not use jewelry cleaner as jewelry cleaners will strip your piece of any patina purposely applied and can also damage or discolor stones.
