How to save Silver Jewelry from Tarnish ? Miraura's Jewelry Care Guide

At Miraura Jewels, sterling silver isn’t just an accessory—it’s a keepsake. Whether you’ve just treated yourself to one of our signature minimalist rings or received a pair of our statement earrings, your silver deserves a little love to maintain its brilliant luster.

Why Does Silver Tarnish?

Pure Silver will react with sulfur or moisture in the air leading to tarnish & that's a natural process. But don’t worry! With these simple steps, you can keep your jewelry & silver articles looking brand new for years to come.

The "Last On-First Off" Rule

The best way to protect your silver is to be mindful of when you wear it.

Last On: Apply your lotions, perfumes, hairspray, deodorants, sunscreens before putting on your jewelry. The chemicals in beauty products can accelerate tarnishing, if possible avoid using both together.

Perfumes are the biggest enemy of Silver Jewellery,particularly Kundan & Polki one. Kundan ( 24k Gold) jewellery also gets tarnished if perfumes are applied while wearing it or even if your jewellery is kept open in your closet, where you keep your worn clothes(with perfume on it). So does 925 Silver Jewellery !!!!

Our Parent firm faces this problem very often in Gold Jadau Polki Jewellery too & same is the case with Silver Jewellery because its in its purest possible form (92.5% purity) which tends to react with chemicals & perfumes.

Proper Storage

When you're not wearing your silver jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Consider using anti-tarnish strips or plastic zip lock pouches to help prevent tarnishing. We at Miraura provide you with natural Jute Potli & handmade paper box to store your jewellery. both being a natural moisture absorbent,keeps your jewellery safe. Though keeping your jewellery wrapped in tissue paper & then in plastic pouches/ jute potli provided makes it safe from moisture as they are best absorbents & anti moisture.

Regular Cleaning

Give your silver jewelry a gentle cleaning regularly to remove oils, dirt, and tarnish. Use a soft cloth or a silver polishing cloth to buff away any tarnish. Avoid using harsh chemicals, soap, shampoo, nail polish remover,hand sanitizers or abrasive materials that can scratch/tarnish the silver.

Avoid Water Exposure

Remove your silver jewelry before swimming or bathing, as exposure to water and chemicals can cause tarnishing. If your jewelry does get wet, make sure to dry it thoroughly before storing it. Moisture is also a big reason for tarnishing of silver,if you reside near Sea shores, moist atmosphere, salty water bodies, areas where rains are frequent & moisture is all year round, make sure you keep your jewellery in airtight pouches wrapped in tissue paper.

Professional Care

If your silver jewelry is heavily tarnished or in need of repair, consider taking it to a professional jeweler for cleaning and maintenance. They have the expertise and tools to restore your jewelry to its original beauty. Usually Tarnished Silver can be restored by simple cleaning & re-polishing, also Rhodium polish can be redone to gain the original finish.This procedure costs minimal amount.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your sterling silver jewelry from Miraura Jewels remains as stunning as the day you first laid eyes on it. Show your silver some love, and it will continue to shine for years to come.
