How to Take Care of Your Silver Jewelry: Expert Tips by Ratna – India’s Trusted Fine 925 Silver Jewellery Brand
Ratna IndiaShare
Sterling silver jewelry holds a timeless charm. Whether it’s a delicate nose pin, a sleek bracelet, or an elegant pendant — silver pieces have the power to elevate any look. But as beautiful as they are, silver jewelry also needs the right care to retain its sparkle.
At Ratna, one of India’s best silver jewelry brands, we use only 925 sterling silver for our collections and apply a special e-coating to protect your jewelry from tarnishing. This advanced anti-tarnish coating ensures your favorite pieces stay radiant for longer. However, proper maintenance from your side will make a noticeable difference too.
Here’s a detailed guide to keeping your silver jewelry looking as stunning as the day you bought it.
Why Does Silver Tarnish?
Tarnish is a natural process that occurs when silver reacts with elements like sulfur, moisture, or even certain chemicals in the air. It often appears as a dull gray or black coating on your jewelry.
Even though Ratna’s 925 silver jewelry is protected with anti-tarnish e-coating, some minimal discoloration may still develop over time, especially with regular use. This is why proper care is important.
1. Store It Right
Silver is sensitive to air and humidity. The way you store your jewelry can either protect it or speed up tarnishing.
Tips:
-Keep your jewelry in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
-Use anti-tarnish strips in your storage box.
-Always store silver pieces separately to avoid scratches and tangles.
-Make use of Ratna’s complimentary jewelry box that comes with every order — it's designed to keep your silver safe and organized.
2. Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Household cleaning agents, perfumes, lotions, makeup, and even sweat can affect your silver jewelry.
Tips:
-Always wear your jewelry after applying makeup and perfume.
-Remove your pieces before cooking, cleaning, swimming, or exercising.
-Avoid contact with hand sanitizers and alcohol-based products.
3. Clean It Gently
Despite all precautions, some tarnish may still occur over time. Regular cleaning can keep your pieces shiny and new.
How to clean:
-Use a soft microfiber or silver polishing cloth which is included in Ratna's Jewellery Box.
-You can also use a mix of mild dish soap and warm water.
-Gently scrub using a soft toothbrush, then rinse and pat dry.
Important: Avoid toothpaste or baking soda — they can be too abrasive for silver, especially for AAA-grade cubic zirconia stones used in many Ratna pieces.
4. Trust in Quality
At Ratna, we take silver care seriously. Every jewelry piece is:
-Made from 92.5% pure sterling silver
-Finished with 18K gold plating on selected designs
-Protected with anti-tarnish e-coating for long-lasting brilliance
