3 Different Sterling Silver Cleaning Methods

Sterling silver is one of the most popular metals used for jewelry. It’s value, style, and durability makes it a “go-to” for many fashionistas. Sterling Silver is created when copper is added to silver resulting in a much more durable and stronger metal than silver on its own. Although much stronger and durable than pure silver, sterling silver is much more prone to tarnishing. When moisture comes in contact with sterling silver, it causes the silver to appear dirty, discolored, and tarnished. There are a variety of silver cleaning methods to prevent this. We are here to help give your silver jewelry a fresh new look with our 3 different sterling silver cleaning methods.



POLISHING CLOTHS

The best way to prevent tarnishing is to keep your sterling silver dry. Avoid wearing it in the shower or swimming pool. Cleaning it with a small or large polishing cloth before storing it away into a dry location can prevent an item from tarnishing right away. This is because a polishing cloth removes oxidation from silver keeping it clean and moisture free. A good rule of thumb is "last on, first off" - It should be the last piece to put on and the first thing to remove and wipe when you store away and organize your jewelry.



CLEANING SOLUTIONS

Jewelry cleaning solutions are a convenient, ready to use, silver cleaning method that helps remove oils, dirt, sweat, cosmetics from sterling silver jewelry. Silver cleaners are formulated to be non-abrasive and offer the appropriate ratio of solution to clean your silver without damaging them with harsh chemicals, scrubbing, or brushing.



WIPES

Silver cleaning pre-moistened wipes are a convenient silver cleaning method that offers a quick alternative to cleaning your silver jewelry. Silver wipes are pretreated with a gentle and effective formula to clean and restore luster and shine. A 2-in-1! Combining cloth and cleaning solution for an easy, convenient, and beneficial silver cleaning method all in one.

Keep in mind, It is much easier to prevent sterling silver from tarnishing than it is to have it removed once it occurs. Vintage style engagement rings requires non-abrasive routine cleaning and maintenance because it tends to tarnish so easily. Our 3 different sterling silver cleaning methods offer safe, fast, and effective ways to keep your sterling silver jewelry brilliant and beautiful. Our favorite is Simple Shine Silver Cleaning Kit for Jewelry, which includes a silver solution and polishing cloth altogether.

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel.

Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together.

By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces. Be dramatic A strapless dress is all about drama.
