What is Silver in Jewellery?

In the context of jewellery collection, silver is a metal. Manufacturers use it in making different types of jewellery.

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. It is mixed with other metals to add to its strength. This alloy can react with different elements, such as:

  • Air

  • Moisture

  • Some chemicals

This reaction may cause dark layers, which is called tarnish. Comprehending such jewellery basics is a way of appreciating the importance of routine care.

How to Maintain Silver Bracelet?

To clean your silver bracelet at home:

  • Add warm water in a clean and dry bowl.

  • Add a few drops of mild, pH-neutral soap in the bowl containing water.

  • Soak your silver jewellery pieces for a few minutes.

  • Afterwards, gently clean the bracelet with a soft bristle brush to reach crevices.

  • Rinse with clean water.

  • Dry thoroughly using a soft, lint-free cloth.

  • After each wear, wipe your bracelet with a cloth that is:

  • Soft
