Here’s a complete, Simple at-home tips to keep your silver jewellery shining for years
1. Clean naturally with soapnut (Reetha)
One of the safest and most traditional ways to clean silver jewellery is by using soapnut (Reetha). Soapnut is a natural cleanser that creates a gentle soapy lather, helping remove tarnish without harsh chemicals. It not only restores shine but also prevents quick re-blackening of silver.
How to clean silver using soapnut:
-
Soak a few soapnuts in water for some time (or use soapnut powder).
-
Mash the soaked soapnuts in the water to release the natural lather.
-
Dip a soft toothbrush or cloth into the solution and gently scrub the silver jewellery
-
Rinse thoroughly with plain water.
-
Dry completely using a soft, clean cloth.
This natural method is gentle, eco-friendly, and perfect for regular silver care.
2. Avoid chemicals at all costs
Silver is sensitive to chemicals, especially those found in everyday products. Exposure to such substances can cause tarnishing, dullness, and long-term damage.
Avoid contact with - perfumes and deodorants, moisturizers and creams, ointments and medicines, acidic substances of any kind.
3. Store smartly when not in use
Proper storage plays a major role in maintaining silver’s shine. When silver is exposed to air, moisture, or extreme temperatures, tarnishing accelerates.
Storage tips:
-
Keep your jewellery in an airtight box or zip-lock pouch.
-
Store it in a dry place away from moisture and heat.
-
Avoid leaving silver exposed on dressing tables or open trays.
A little attention while storing goes a long way in preserving your jewellery.
4. Avoid wearing during hard work or playing sports
Silver jewellery especially pieces with beads or delicate designs can get damaged during physical activities.
Avoid wearing silver jewellery while:
-
Exercising or playing sports
-
Lifting heavy objects
-
Performing hard manual work
This prevents scratches, bending, breakage, and damage to beads or fine details.
5. Enjoy your jewellery often
Here’s a lovely secret. Wearing silver jewellery regularly actually helps maintain its shine. Natural oils from your skin slow down oxidation and reduce tarnish.
So don’t keep your favourite silver pieces locked away. Enjoy them, style them, and let them be part of your everyday moments.
6. Clean it before it’s too late
Never wait for your jewellery to turn completely black. Once heavy tarnish sets in, restoring the original shine becomes more difficult.
-
Clean your silver as soon as you notice early signs of dullness or tarnish.
-
Regular light cleaning is far better than occasional heavy cleaning.
This habit keeps your jewellery looking fresh and new.
7. Don’t store silver with other jewellery
Storing silver jewellery together with other metals or materials can cause faster tarnishing. Different metals react with each other, leading to discoloration and scratches.
-
Store each silver piece separately.
-
Use individual pouches or compartments.
-
Prevent silver from touching other jewellery items/ metals.
This simple step protects both shine and structure.
Caring for silver doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple at-home tips - your Shritha Silver treasures will sparkle for years to come. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a piece you wear every day, the right care makes all the difference.
