Jewelry Care

The First Rule of Silver Care
Silver 925 naturally tarnishes, especially when exposed to salt air and sulfur-containing products like rubber bands and certain papers. However, silver that is worn regularly often requires less maintenance. At ELEMENTS, we encourage you to wear your silver jewelry every day to keep it looking its best.

ELEMENTS Silver Care 
To maintain the beauty of your silver jewelry, use a small amount of ELEMENTS silver cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently rub the silver several times, then rinse thoroughly in warm water and dry carefully. This process will help remove tarnish and restore shine. Please avoid exposure to chlorine and bleach, as these can accelerate tarnishing.

Once cleaned and polished, silver should be kept dry and stored properly. Our ELEMENTS protective bags will shield your jewelry from scratches and help prevent tarnishing.

Special Considerations 
An oxidized finish is a deliberate darkening of certain areas in the design to enhance decorative details. Be cautious, as excessive cleaning and polishing can remove this finish.

Storing ELEMENTS Silver Products 
Silver should always be kept dry. If you use your silver frequently, minimize exposure to air and store it in a tarnish-resistant cloth, such as the flannel pouch provided with your ELEMENTS jewelry or a silver storage box.

Good storage solutions include tarnish-resistant fabric linings with separate compartments for each piece. In humid climates, consider placing a small packet of desiccant crystals in your storage area, whether it’s a closed box or a flannel roll. Avoid contact with rubber bands or other rubber products, as sulfur in rubber can cause tarnishing and corrosion.

If your silver changes color and you’re not near an ELEMENTS store or don’t have a cleaner, the best option is to visit any jeweler, where your silver can be easily polished by a professional in just minutes.

We welcome you to bring your ELEMENTS  jewelry in our store for professional cleaning.
