How to Care for Your Silver Jewelry: Do’s and Don’ts

Silver is a living metal — it responds to how you wear it, where you keep it, and how you care for it.

At The Loving Good, every piece is handcrafted with intention, and caring for it is part of the journey. Whether it's a delicate toe ring or a bold silver cuff, the right care can ensure your jewelry ages beautifully — with character, not corrosion.

Do’s: How to Love Your Silver Right

1. Wear it often
Yes — your skin's natural oils help prevent tarnish. The more you wear your silver, the better it looks.

2. Store it properly
Keep your silver in a soft pouch, anti-tarnish cloth, or airtight box. Separate each piece to avoid scratches.

3. Wipe gently after each use
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away oils, sweat, and dust. This simple habit keeps your silver fresh longer.

4. Clean with care
Use a mild soap and warm water for regular cleaning. Pat dry with a soft cloth — avoid rubbing too hard.

5. Use a silver polishing cloth
For deeper shine, use a cloth made specifically for silver. It removes tarnish without scratching.

Don’ts: What to Avoid

1. Don’t wear it in the shower or pool
Water, chlorine, and harsh chemicals can speed up tarnish and dull the shine.

2. Don’t spray perfume or hairspray directly on it
Apply all sprays and lotions before wearing your jewelry to protect its finish.

3. Don’t use toothpaste or baking soda
These common remedies are too abrasive and can scratch your jewelry.

4. Don’t leave it exposed to air for too long
Silver reacts with oxygen and moisture. Always store it properly when not in use.
