That so many people are now going for Sterling silver jewelry is not surprising. It is after all more affordable than gold and platinum, even though it may require more maintenance than the other metals to ensure that it stays in good condition for a long time.
Cleaning your Sterling silver jewelry is important. When you buy a Sterling silver jewelry, your purchase often comes with a jewelry cloth. Use that one to clean your jewelry. Any hard object or paper towel can scratch the surface of the jewelry. In case dirt comes in contact with your jewelry, remove it with your jewelry cloth, not your fingernails. You can also use a silver dip cleaner to clean your jewelry. Dip your jewelry in the solution for 30 seconds to about a minute and then rinse it completely with water.
Do not leave your Sterling silver jewelry anywhere. Just because it is not as expensive as your other pieces of jewelry, it doesn’t mean that it does not deserve a special place in your room. You need to store your jewelry properly, preferably in a cool place or somewhere else so long as it cannot get in direct contact with sunlight. Heat and light can discolor the jewelry.
