Helpful Hints For Caring For Your Wire Jewelry
Silver will tarnish or discolor if left out in the open. Especially in the parts of the world where humidity is high. Tarnish is a natural process caused by oxidation. It begins to appear as a golden tone, then gets darker.
The easiest way to keep silver bright and minimize the amount of tarnish is to store it in a cool, dry place, (away from moist areas like the bathroom), in an airtight zip lock bag. This will decrease the need for polishing. Avoid using Liquid silver cleaner or polish on your wire gemstone jewelry. These are very harsh and will strip away your jewelry's finish. Do not use silver cleaners on semi-precious gemstones as they may loose their luster. Instead, use a little mild dish soap and warm water and a super soft baby tooth brush for the corners. I don't recommend using window cleaner (some people do) but I have found it to be too harsh with all the amonia ect...
Make sure you remove your wire jewelry before swimming, showering, cleaning with chemicals, or applying hand lotion.
Just a few suggestions before you buy wire jewelry. It's worth it!!!
