It is characteristic of silver jewelry that it darkens over time. Darkening is caused by oxidation of metals. Here are tips for preventing darkening and cleaning:
- Beware of exposing the jewelry to moisture (do not sauna or bathe them in the ears, or store them in a humid place)
- Avoid direct contact of skin and hair care products with jewelry.
You can clean the silver jewelry with a silver cleaning cloth or silver cleaning agent.
Mild dishwashing detergent is often sufficient for cleaning. Mix dishwashing detergent with warm water and let the jewelry soak there for a few minutes. After soaking, rinse the jewelry with still warm water and wipe with a soft towel, avoiding harsh rubbing.
