In fact, sterling silver has become one of the favorite of investors to put their money. It has that very distinct luster that is both elegant and classic. However, this quality can easily be lost if not handled properly. Below are some important tips on how to maintain the beauty of your sterling silver.

1：Storage

Sterling silver can be very sensitive. If you own pieces of this kind of valuable jewelleries, remember to keep them separated from your other jewelleries as not to damage the external features of your precious item. Another reason is that although this silver is scratch resistant, it is not altogether scratch proof. To avoid unwanted scratches and or damages, it is best just to separate it from your other pieces.

It is also advisable to wrap your silver pieces with jewellery tissues individually. Also, buy a jewellery box that has soft cushions that serves as "carpet" for your precious jewelleries. This will prevent your pieces from getting discoloration and deformation.

Remember to keep them in a cool, dry place. Moist and dampness damages its natural luster and elegant color.

2：Keeping It Clean

Even though there is a saying that "cleanliness is next to Godliness", remember not to go overboard with your sterling silver. The key words are "be gentle". You might go ahead and buy cleansers without knowing that there are harmful chemicals in them that can definitely damage your precious item. Do not use hot water when cleaning your precious metal. Warm water with a bit of gentle dishwashing liquid should do the trick. Do not scrub! Wipe them as gently as you can. Avoid using commercial toothbrush or any other forms of brush that can leave marks on your valuable pieces. Use soft cotton fabric material while rubbing your sterling silver gently.

3：When And Where To Use Them

When wearing or suing your sterling silver pieces, always remember that they are sensitive to certain chemicals. Chlorine and other cleaning ingredients are bad for this kind of precious metal. Do not use them when you are swimming or cleaning your bathroom or kitchen. Do not also wear or use your precious pieces together with materials such as rubber. Rubber easily affects the luster of silver. It is best to remove them before putting on your rubber gloves.

Nevertheless, it is also advisable to wear them regularly. Experts say that you and the natural oil of your skin keep the luster of sterling silver and act as protective oil against harmful chemicals. Nevertheless, remember to keep them away from heavy make-up and heavy creams that you use as moisturizers and lotion.

Here are some of the most common chemicals that can do damage to your sterling silver. They commonly found at home: bleach, ethyl alcohol, hairspray or any form of aerosol products, lotions, nail polish, oil, paint, perfumes, rubber, ammonia and varnish. So keep in mind to avoid all of these things when you are handling or wearing your precious pieces.
