Looking for ways to keep that silver shimmer in tact? You
can enjoy the luster of the metals and gems in all of your
jewelry simply by occasionally cleaning and always storing
it properly. Storing silver jewelry is an easy task, and is
very crucial if you want to keep your rings, necklaces, earrings,
and other silver pieces beautiful for years, even generations,
to come!
Use a jewelry box with many compartments for storing silver
jewelry items separately. Each piece of silver jewelry should
be kept in its own box or pouch. It shouldn’t be stored
together, or with any other types of fine jewelry; gems scratch
and damage silver jewelry. Silver chains should be laid flat
or hung up, to avoid knotting and tangling.
While you are cleaning the house, it’s wise to take
off all your silver items. Some cleaning chemicals, including
ammonia and chlorine, may discolor, damage, or cause a film
to form on your silver and dull its appearance. Also, when
you go to bed or play sports, remove your jewelry to avoid
kinking, scratching, and breaking.
Even after you make a habit of storing silver jewelry properly,
and taking it off during rough activities, you will still
want to take it to a jeweler periodically. A jewelry repair
specialist can assist you with damaged clasps, kinks and worn
silver.
