Understanding Tarnish

Sterling silver may tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals. Tarnish appears as a dulling or darkening of the metal's surface.

Follow the tips below to keep your jewelry bright and shiny for as long as possible!

Daily Wear & Prevention

Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or using household cleaning agents, as chemicals can accelerate tarnishing.

Apply lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics before wearing your jewelry to minimize contact with substances that may cause tarnish.

How to clean

Gently clean your jewelry with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. For a deeper clean, use mild dish soap and warm water, rinsing thoroughly and drying with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the silver and any gemstones.

Storage

Store your sterling silver pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping each piece in a separate, airtight bag can prevent scratching and reduce exposure to air and moisture, minimizing tarnish.

Jewelry from Lunar Leaf is packaged individually, in a durable, small box with an anti-tarnish strip. This works just fine!
