How to Care for Stainless Steel Jewelry

Stainless steel is a highly durable metal, resistant to scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing. However, proper care will help maintain its shine and longevity.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, or strong detergents.

  • Regular Cleaning – Clean your stainless steel jewelry with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the surface.

  • Proper Storage – Store in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches from other jewelry pieces.

  • Daily Wear – Stainless steel jewelry is great for everyday wear, but avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or sweat for best results.

How to Care for Sterling Silver (S925) Jewelry

Sterling silver is a precious metal that requires some extra attention to prevent tarnishing and maintain its luster.

  • Keep Away from Moisture – Humidity and exposure to air can cause sterling silver to tarnish. Store in an anti-tarnish pouch or airtight container when not in use.

  • Regular Polishing – Use a soft polishing cloth to gently remove tarnish and restore shine.

  • Avoid Contact with Chemicals – Perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners can accelerate tarnishing.

  • Wear It Often – The natural oils on your skin help prevent tarnishing, so wearing your sterling silver jewelry regularly is beneficial.
