All sterling silver jewellery naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture; however, there are ways to retain its original shine and minimise the tarnishing process:

• Wear it often – the natural oils in your skin can create a protective layer.
• Use a jewellery box or pouch when not wearing your jewellery to minimise exposure to air.
• Use a polishing cloth – occasionally, wipe your jewellery with a polishing cloth to remove any gradual tarnish and residue that may accelerate tarnishing.

If your pieces begins to look dull, here’s how to bring it back to life:

• Simple soap and water: Gently clean your silver with a soft cloth or toothbrush. Rinse well and pat dry with a soft towel.
• Baking soda fix: For a deeper clean, make a paste from baking soda and water, gently rub it onto your jewellery, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
