Necklace And Cactus Pendant With Lapis Lazuli And Red Zirconia In 925 Sterling Silver Fine Plant Jewelry Design

Wear sterling silver often to prevent tarnishing. The oil from your skin keeps it clean and shiny. ⧫ Chemicals in lotions, cosmetics, hair sprays, hair products, and perfumes accelerate tarnishing. Always remove silver jewelry before chores. Cleaning agents, sweat, rubber, and chlorinated water cause corrosion and tarnish. ⧫ Moisture and sunlight cause tarnish. Store silver away from sunlight and humidity. Remove jewelry before swimming or sunbathing. ⧫ Store silver in airtight plastic bags with anti-tarnish strips. Silver is soft, so keep pieces apart to prevent scratching. ⧫ Use chalk, activated charcoal, or silica gel in storage to reduce tarnish. ⧫ For gold-plated pieces, avoid rubbing or polishing too hard. Gentle care helps preserve the gold finish.
