How to take care of silver jewelry

Proper care for your silver jewelry ensures it stays beautiful and lasts for years to come. Follow these simple steps to maintain its shine and quality:

1. Cleaning Your Silver Jewelry

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a special silver polishing cloth to clean your jewelry regularly.
  • For more stubborn tarnish, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak the jewelry briefly, then gently scrub it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can scratch or damage the silver.

2. Wearing Tips

  • Put on your silver jewelry last, after applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray. Chemicals in these products can cause tarnish.
  • Avoid wearing silver jewelry while swimming, bathing, or exercising, as water, chlorine, and sweat can accelerate tarnishing.
  • Remove your jewelry before doing household chores or using cleaning products.

3. Storing Your Silver Jewelry

  • Store silver jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Keep each piece of jewelry separate to avoid scratches or tangling.

4. Preventing Tarnish

  • Wear your silver jewelry often. The natural oils in your skin can help keep silver shiny.

5. Professional Maintenance

  • If your jewelry is heavily tarnished or has intricate designs, consider taking it to a professional jeweler for cleaning and polishing.
  • Regular maintenance will keep your silver jewelry looking as good as new.

By following these tips, your silver jewelry will retain its brilliance and elegance for years to come!

How to find out my ring size

At Empathy Gems, we want your ring to fit perfectly. Follow these simple steps to determine your size:

  1. Prepare a Thin Thread:
    Take a thin thread (avoid using lace) and wrap it snugly around the finger where you intend to wear your ring.
  2. Mark the Length:
    Use a pen or marker to mark the point where the thread overlaps, capturing the circumference of your finger.
  3. Measure the Thread:
    Lay the thread flat against a ruler, aligning one mark with the zero point. Measure the distance between the two marks to determine the length.
