Caring for your silver

Draft article prepared by ABCsteps for review.

Silver tarnishes when it meets sulphur in the air, in sweat and in some cosmetics. Tarnish is only on the surface, and with a little care it is easy to prevent and remove.

Every day

  • Put silver on after perfume, lotion and hair spray, not before.
  • Take it off for swimming, cleaning with chemicals and the gym.
  • Wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.

Storing

  • Keep each piece separately in its Arham pouch or a zip bag, away from air and moisture.
  • Avoid storing silver with rubber bands or in damp cupboards.

Cleaning

A polishing cloth restores most shine. Do not use harsh dips on oxidised pieces — their dark finish is intentional. For a deep clean, bring your Arham silver to the showroom and we will look after it.
