How to Care for Sterling Silver & Natural Stone Jewelry

A little care keeps jewelry looking as lovely as the day you got it. This guide covers the simple habits that prevent tarnish and damage, with specific tips for sterling silver, natural stone, and delicate pressed flower pieces. Find all of these in our sterling silver, natural stone, and pressed flower collections.

Why does jewelry need a little care?

Everyday exposure to lotion, perfume, water, and air is what dulls a piece or causes silver to tarnish. The good news is that a few easy habits prevent almost all of it, no special equipment required.

How to care for sterling silver

Keep it dry. Take silver off before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. Moisture speeds up tarnish.
Last on, first off. Put jewelry on after lotion, perfume, and hairspray, and take it off first at the end of the day.
Polish gently. Buff with a soft cloth or a dedicated silver polishing cloth to bring back shine. For light tarnish, a little warm water with mild soap and a soft cloth works well.
Wear it often. Believe it or not, regular wear helps slow tarnish.

How to care for natural stone jewelry

Be gentle with chemicals. Many natural stones are porous and can be dulled by harsh cleaners or prolonged water. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth instead of soaking.
Avoid hard knocks. Stones can chip, so store and wear them with a little care.
Keep out of prolonged sun. Some stones can fade with long, direct sunlight.

How to care for pressed flower and resin jewelry

Pressed flower pieces set in resin are little works of nature, and they like the same gentle treatment. Keep them out of long, direct sunlight to protect the colors, avoid soaking or harsh chemicals, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Browse the pressed flower collection.

Everyday habits that keep jewelry beautiful

Store pieces separately so they do not scratch one another, ideally in a soft pouch or lined box.
Keep silver in a cool, dry spot; an anti-tarnish strip in the box helps.
Take jewelry off for workouts, cleaning, and swimming.
Check clasps now and then so you catch a loose link before you lose a piece.
