How to Clean Sterling Silver Jewelry
For pieces without porous gemstones (like pearls, turquoise, or opals):
Simple Soap & Water Method
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water
- Soak the silver piece for 5–10 minutes
- Use a soft toothbrush or microfiber cloth to gently remove tarnish
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a lint-free cloth
Baking Soda & Foil Method (for heavier tarnish)
- Line a bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up
- Add 1 tbsp baking soda + 1 tbsp salt
- Pour in hot water and stir
- Submerge the silver piece for 2–5 minutes
- Rinse and dry thoroughly
Avoid this method if your piece includes porous gemstones or glued settings—it can damage or loosen them.
What to Avoid
- Harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, or silver dips
- Ultrasonic cleaners if your piece includes delicate stones
- Paper towels or rough cloths that can scratch the surface
Semi-Precious Gemstones
Each stone carries its own quiet story. Handle with reverence to maintain its natural beauty.
- Spot Clean Only: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the surface. Avoid soaking—especially for porous stones like turquoise, opal, or lapis.
- No Ultrasonics or Steam: These methods may fracture or discolor delicate stones.
- Protect from Heat & Light: Prolonged exposure can fade or weaken certain gems.
- Store Separately: Gemstones can scratch each other. Keep each piece in its own pouch or lined box.
