TIPS FOR TAKING CARE OF STERLING SILVER 925
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver (this is why sterling silver will have a 925 stamp) and 7.5% other metals. It’s the other metals, primarily copper, that makes the sterling silver tarnish. The copper reacts to moister and sulfur in the air, causing the sterling silver to tarnish. Over time any sterling silver jewellery exposed to air will tarnish. Silver tarnishes faster in areas with high humidity and air pollution. Properly caring and storing jewelry is the best way to slow the tarnish process and to keep your jewelry looking beautiful and your Silver 925 jewelry will never tarnish. The best way to prevent tarnishing is to store the jewelry in a clean, dry airtight container, like a plastic (biodegradable) zip lock bag, or Tupperware. An anti-tarnish strip stored with the silver jewelry helps to absorb tarnish-causing elements. After taking off your silver jewelry, clean it with a dry soft cloth, or polishing cloth, before putting it back into an airtight container. When an item does begin to tarnish, cleaning it right away will make it easier to restore the shine than if you let it sit longer. Use a silver polishing cloth to remove oxidation from silver.
