We’ve gotten a few questions on how to keep sterling silver jewelry from tarnishing. Here are a few tips to keepin’ it shiny.
Storage
To prevent your sterling silver jewelry from tarnishing, keep them in a cool dry place, ideally in an airtight jewelry box. I personally use the McKenna jewelry box from Pottery Barn. But to take it a step further, it’s a good idea to keep each piece in a tarnish prevention cloth or bag or even an anti-tarnish ziplock. This keeps it airtight and also protects it from getting scratched by other pieces of jewelry.
Care
It’s a good idea to regularly clean or polish your sterling silver jewelry to prevent tarnish build up. You can use silver polish or solutions to do this, like this cloth polish from Amazon. If you have some jewelry that is showing a bit of tarnish, it is still possible to salvage them using this method.
With these tips, we hope that your sterling silver stays shiny and bright!
