We are proud to say that our sterling silver jewellery is handcrafted into unique designs by our skilled artisans who are expert silversmiths. Each piece comes with a 925 stamp (learn more about stamps and sterling silver here) and presents the stunning lustre you can expect from quality solid silver. Over time, however, even the best quality silver loses its shine. It begins to discolour and dullen in a chemical process known as ‘tarnishing’.
While it’s an inevitable fact of owning silver jewellery, tarnishing doesn’t mean your favourite silver pieces need to be banished to the drawer. In fact, you can keep your silver jewellery as gorgeous as the day you bought it by following our simple tips on how to clean, store and maintain your jewellery, for a lifetime of wear.
So whether you want to get ahead of the tarnishing game or have some sterling silver jewellery in dire need of TLC, here are Aquila’s top 3 ways to clean your silver jewellery:
1. A Salt Bath for your Silver
An old classic for many who clean all their silverware this way.
Combine warm water and a few teaspoons of salt in a bowl.
Place your jewellery in the bowl for 5 minutes.
Take it out and give it a quick polish with a polishing cloth which should gleam some wonderful results!
