Avoid contact with water, perfume, sweat, and chemicals. Store in a zip-lock pouch when not in use. Clean with a soft dry cloth after each wear. For tarnished pieces, use a silver polishing cloth or mild dish soap with lukewarm water — rinse quickly and dry immediately. Never use toothpaste as it scratches silver.

Does silver jewellery tarnish?
