Sterling silver is a metal composed of at least 92.5% silver, which is the legal standard of purity set by assay offices in Britain and widely used for silver jewelry around the world. This ensures that the metal is of a specific, high-quality standard. Pure silver is rarely used on its own because it is too soft to be practical for everyday wear.
Tips to Prevent Tarnish:
Store your Cuesilver jewelry in a cool, dry place. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air, so it’s best to keep your pieces in airtight zip-lock plastic bags or wrapped in a cloth inside an airtight container when not in use. This helps slow down tarnishing and protects your jewelry from scratches.
Avoid wearing your Cuesilver jewelry while cleaning, swimming, or showering. Always remove your jewelry before using products that contain bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or nail polish removers with acetone or turpentine.
Cleaning Your Jewelry:
Dust and sweat can accumulate on jewelry, causing grime, but this can be easily removed with a soft cloth.
Never use toothpaste to clean silver jewelry, as it is too abrasive.
To keep your jewelry shiny and looking new, apply perfumes, lotions, or hair spray before putting on your jewelry.
Most importantly, enjoy wearing your Cuesilver pieces! If you have any issues, feel free to reach out to us!
