To help protect them, avoid wearing silver pieces in water and ensure that jewellery is put on as a finishing touch after the application of fragrances and other chemical products. On days that you are not wearing your piece, keep it in its pouch. If you should wish to clean your piece, gently wash in warm water mixed with a few drops of mild dishwashing soap, before buffing dry with a soft cloth. Additionally, a silver polishing product or cloth can be used. After cleaning, keep your jewellery in a cool, dry place to prevent excess tarnish.
