Summer is the season of sunshine, beach trips, and breezy outfits - and of course, it is also the perfect time to show off your favourite silver jewellery. But if you have ever noticed your silver pieces looking dull or tarnished during the warmer months, you are not alone. Heat, humidity, sweat, and even sunscreen can affect the shine and life of your silver jewellery.
As a jewellery brand that understands the love people have for their silver treasures, we are here to share some easy, tried-and-tested tips to keep your silver sparkling all summer long.
1. Avoid Wearing Silver in Pools or the Ocean
We get it - it is tempting to keep your jewellery on while taking a dip. But both chlorine and saltwater are harsh on silver. They can cause tarnishing, discoloration, or even damage over time. Before you dive in, take a minute to remove your jewellery and store it safely.
2. Keep Silver Away from Sweat
Summer means more time outdoors - and more sweat. Unfortunately, sweat contains salts and acids that can dull silver. If you are heading to the gym, going on a hike, or spending a hot day outside, it is best to leave your silver at home or clean it afterwards with a soft cloth.
3. Be Careful with Lotions and Sunscreens
We all use sunscreens and moisturizers during summer, but these products can leave a residue on your jewellery, making it look cloudy. Let any creams or sprays fully absorb into your skin before putting on your rings, bangles, or necklaces.
4. Store Silver Properly When Not in Use
Silver reacts with air, especially in humid environments. To prevent tarnishing, store your silver pieces in an airtight pouch or box. If possible, use anti-tarnish strips or a soft cloth to wrap them individually. Avoid leaving them out in the open, especially in bathrooms where humidity is high.
5. Clean Regularly, But Gently
A simple habit that goes a long way: wipe your silver jewellery with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. This removes sweat, oils, and any product residue. For deeper cleans, you can use a silver cleaning solution or a DIY mix of mild soap and warm water - just make sure to dry thoroughly.
6. Rotate Your Jewellery
We all have our favourite pieces, but giving your silver jewellery a break now and then helps it last longer. Rotating your jewellery also gives you a
A chance to clean and store items properly between wears.
