Jewelry Care Guide
Thank you for choosing sterling silver jewelry from Super Silver Inc. To ensure your jewelry retains its luster and beauty for years to come, please follow these care guidelines. Sterling silver jewelry is delicate, and proper care will help prevent tarnishing, scratches, and damage to gemstones.
1. Storage:
Store your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
Use a soft jewelry pouch or a separate compartment in your jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling with other pieces.
2. Cleaning:
Gently wipe your jewelry with a clean, soft, and non-abrasive polishing cloth after each wear to remove oils, sweat, and dirt.
For stubborn tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cleaning solution. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions, as some jewelry cleaners are not safe for stones or rhodium-finished items.
If your piece has a rhodium coating (a protective layer that keeps silver shiny and tarnish-resistant), avoid abrasive polishes or dipping solutions, as these can wear away the finish. Instead, clean gently with a soft, damp cloth or a mild jewelry cleaner marked safe for rhodium. Over time, rhodium may naturally wear off, revealing the sterling silver underneath, which can be polished as needed.
Avoid using abrasive materials, such as paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch the surface.
3. Avoid Chemicals:
Remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, or using household cleaners, as exposure to chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and cleaning agents can damage sterling silver and gemstones.
Apply perfumes, lotions, and hairspray before putting on your jewelry, as these products can also cause tarnishing.
4. Gemstone Care:
Gemstones may require special care. Some gemstones are more delicate and porous than others, and their care may vary. Here are some general tips:
Avoid exposing gemstones to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading.
To clean gemstone jewelry, use a soft, damp cloth or a mild soapy water solution, taking care not to use excessive force. Afterward, rinse the jewelry thoroughly and gently pat it dry with a clean cloth.
It's important to note that not all gemstones can withstand moisture; for instance, opal jewelry should be kept away from any contact with water, as exposure can cause the colors to fade or even turn yellow.
Do not use harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners on gemstones unless recommended explicitly for that gem.
Store gemstone jewelry separately to prevent scratches and potential damage to other pieces.
Regularly inspect gemstones to ensure they are securely set in place. Over time, they may become loose and require attention. In most cases, loose gemstones can be carefully removed and re-affixed using jeweler's epoxy glue, readily available at local hardware stores.
If you reside nearby, you can also bring your items to one of our locations, where we offer a professional re-setting service for a nominal fee. However, for prong-set jewelry, it is highly recommended to seek the expertise of a professional jeweler for tightening and maintenance.
5. Delicate Jewelry and Active Lifestyle:
Delicate rings and jewelry should be handled with care. Remove them before engaging in activities that could subject them to impact, such as sports, exercise, or when working with your hands.
If you prefer to wear jewelry at all times, consider choosing more solid and thicker items without stones, as they are less prone to damage during active pursuits and less likely to fall out.
Be cautious when putting on and taking off jewelry to prevent bending, twisting, or stretching.
Regularly check gemstones to ensure they are secure. A professional jeweler can tighten loose stones.
By following these guidelines, you'll preserve the beauty and longevity of your sterling silver jewelry, ensuring it continues to shine for generations to come. Remember that taking extra care with delicate pieces and staying mindful of your active lifestyle can go a long way in safeguarding your cherished jewelry.
