Sterling silver is a popular choice for everyday jewellery. To help keep your jewellery looking its best, avoid unnecessary contact with perfume, cosmetics, chemicals and chlorine.

Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time as the metal reacts with substances in the environment. Regular gentle cleaning and proper storage can help maintain its appearance.

Keep sterling silver away from perfume, cosmetics, harsh chemicals and chlorine where possible. Gently wipe jewellery with a soft cloth after wearing and store pieces separately in a dry jewellery box or pouch.
