Care of Jewelry

Care of .925 Sterling Silver Jewelry

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time, especially when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or air.

  • We recommend using a silver jewelry polishing cloth to maintain shine and remove tarnish.
  • Clean your Navajo Pearls regularly with a designated silver cleaning cloth — preferably after each wear. You can find our polishing cloths under the “More Products” tab.
  • Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, applying lotion, self-tanner, or using harsh chemicals.
  • Makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotion can speed up tarnishing, so it's best to put your jewelry on last when getting ready.
  • Never use solvent, liquid jewelry cleaners, or steam cleaners, as they can damage your jewelry.
  • Store your pieces in a jewelry box or drawer lined with anti-tarnish cloth or use anti-tarnish bags to slow oxidation.
