How to take Care of Silver?

To minimize scratches and other damage, store your silver jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Silver polish can be used to remove tarnish.

If you prefer to clean your silver jewelry at home, you can use a silver cleaning dip, which can be done in the following manner:

- Line a glass container with tin foil; pour some hot water and add one or two tablespoons of salt and baking soda.

- Put your silver pieces in the dip and leave them there for about five minutes.

- After the tarnish disappears, rinse your jewelry with water and dry it using a soft cloth.
