How to Identify Quality Sterling Silver Jewellery

How to Care for Sterling Silver Rings, Earrings and Bracelets

Proper care can help keep sterling silver jewellery looking its best. Store pieces in a clean, dry place when they aren't being worn and avoid unnecessary exposure to moisture, chemicals and harsh substances.

Regularly checking your jewellery and cleaning it according to the manufacturer's recommendations can also help maintain its appearance.

For everyday pieces such as moissanite silver rings, proper storage and care are especially useful when the jewellery is worn frequently.

Can You Wear Sterling Silver Jewellery Every Day?

Yes, sterling silver jewellery can be suitable for everyday wear. Rings, earrings, pendants and bracelets can easily become part of a daily jewellery rotation.

However, everyday jewellery is exposed to more contact and environmental factors, so regular care is important. Removing jewellery during activities where it may be exposed to chemicals, excessive moisture or physical impact can help protect it.
