Silver Care
At Falaq Jewelry, we recognize the special value of your silver jewelry. To assist in maintaining its beauty and longevity, we offer a detailed care guide, including tips on using our high-quality ziplock bags provided for optimal storage.
1. Avoiding Harmful Substances:
- Do not apply bleach, sanitizer, chlorine, or any alcohol-based products like perfumes or wet wipes to your silver jewelry.
2. Sanitizing Silver Products:
- For plain silver items, dip them in hot water for a few minutes.
- For silver with gemstones or enamel, wash with lukewarm water and a little dishwashing liquid.
3. Understanding and Maintaining Silver:
- Silver, a soft metal, is typically mixed with alloys like copper in jewelry making. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloys.
- Silver tarnishes when exposed to sulfur in the air, but this layer can be easily cleaned and doesn't damage the metal.
4. Effective Cleaning and Storage:
- Store unworn silver in an airtight container, like the ziplock bag we provide, to prevent oxidation.
- Keep jewelry away from chemicals, perfumes, and sweat. Remove it during household chores.
- Clean tarnished pieces with mild dish soap in warm water; avoid abrasive scrubs.
- Use a silver cleaning cloth for routine maintenance.
- Avoid wearing silver jewelry in swimming pools or at the beach.
Additional Tips:
- Ziplock Bag Usage: Always use the provided ziplock bag for storage to protect your silver from tarnishing.
- Regular Check-ups: Inspect your silver jewelry periodically for wear or tarnish to prevent long-term damage.
By adhering to these care instructions, your Falaq Jewelry silver pieces will maintain their allure and charm, just like when you first wore them. A bit of care and attention ensures the enduring beauty and integrity of your treasured silver jewelry.
