1. Start Making Habits

Silver can be a very finicky metal, there are plenty of triggers that can cause to make it dull. To keep your jewellery shiny, you need to shield it from as many chemicals as possible. When you’re getting ready to go out, make sure your silver jewellery is the last thing you put on before heading out. This protects it to a large extent from your lotions, perfumes, hairspray and makeup. By contrast, when you return home, your silver jewellery should be the first thing you remove. Again, this prevents it from coming into contact with harmful chemicals. It’s also important that you don’t wear silver jewellery while swimming, doing dishes or having a shower.

2. Learn How To Store Your Magnificent Jewellery

To slow down the discolouring process, your silver jewellery should be kept in airtight bags when not used. Wrap each individual piece of silver in tissue and store it in airtight Ziplock bags. You could even store them in air-tight containers if you have them. Never store rubber bands with silver or use rubber bands to close bags containing silver. As rubber bands begin to age, they release sulphur, which can accelerate the degrading process. The most effective ways you can prevent degrading is to store silver with silica packets. Silica packets are generally found in shoe boxes or with sunglasses to remove excess moisture. Instead of throwing them in the trash, store your silver with them to keep it looking as good as new. If you don’t have any silica packets lying around, a stick of chalk will work just as well and will surely maintain your jewellery for a long time to come.

3. Starting Using A Lint-Free Cloth To Avoid Scratches And Maintain Shine

Silver is a very soft metal and can easily get scratched if you aren’t careful. Don’t try to remove the dust or anything with a rough cloth because this can just make things worse. Instead, search for soft anti-tarnish wipes that can work miracles against tarnish. These wipes are soaked in a solution that can absorb excess oxygen and sulphur from the air. Both oxygen and sulphur are like kryptonite for your silver they will destroy your beautiful silver jewellery. By preventing them from coming into contact with them, anti-tarnish wipes can keep your silver tarnish-free. However, these wipes are only effective as a preventative treatment. Once tarnish sets in, they won’t be of any help in removing it. So you have to be careful and prevent your jewellery from getting tarnished in the first place, wipe it down regularly with anti-tarnish wipes.

4. How You Can Cut Down The Damage At Home!

Commercial tarnish-removing products are effective but can be very pricey. Thankfully, there are plenty of DIY remedies you can use that work as magic. One trick that works better than most other silver tarnish hacks is the combination of aluminium foil, white vinegar and baking soda. To remove tarnish with these ingredients, bring water to a boil with a sheet of aluminium foil inside it, shiny side up. Once it boils, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and then drop your tarnished silver into it. After about 15 seconds (depending on how bad the tarnished it is), remove your jewellery and buff it dry with a microfibre cloth (extremely soft cloth). Your silver will look so shiny you can be forgiven for thinking it was magic. However, never use baking soda directly on silver to scrub it because it can be too abrasive.
