Jewellery Care Guide

Keep your silver jewellery shining for years to come.

Silver jewellery is beautiful and timeless, but it does require a little care to maintain its lustre. Follow these simple tips to keep your Indiasilvo pieces looking their best.

✨ General Care Tips

• Remove jewellery before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and chemicals.
• Put on jewellery after applying makeup and perfume.
• Remove jewellery before doing household chores or using cleaning products.
• Avoid wearing silver jewellery in chlorinated pools or hot tubs.

✨ Cleaning Your Silver Jewellery

• Use a soft, lint-free silver polishing cloth to gently buff your jewellery.
• For light cleaning, use mild soap and warm water with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, or rough cloths that can scratch the surface.
• Dry completely before storing — moisture accelerates tarnishing.

✨ Caring for Oxidised Jewellery

• Do not use silver polish or harsh cleaners on oxidised pieces — this will remove the antique finish.
• Clean gently with a soft dry cloth only.
• Avoid water and moisture as much as possible.
• Store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching.

✨ Storing Your Jewellery

• Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratching.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Use anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets in your jewellery box to slow tarnishing.
• Store necklaces flat or hang them to prevent tangling.

✨ Understanding Tarnish

Silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air and moisture — this is completely normal and does not indicate poor quality. Tarnish appears as a yellowish or blackish discolouration and can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth.

Regular wear actually helps keep silver bright, as the friction from skin contact polishes the metal naturally!
