What is Sterling Silver?
Sterling silver is a metal that contains a minimum of 92.5% silver, a purity standard established by the British assay offices and widely adopted for most silver jewelry worldwide. This guarantees a specific level of quality for the metal used, as pure silver is too soft for practical use.
To prevent tarnishing, consider these recommendations:
-
Safely store your Label Johri jewelry in a cool, dry place. Silver can tarnish when exposed to the air, so it's advisable to keep your silver items in airtight zip-lock plastic bags or wrap them in cloth within an airtight container when not in use. This will help slow down the tarnishing process and protect your jewelry from scratches.
-
Avoid wearing your Label Johri piece while engaging in cleaning, swimming, or showering. Always remove your jewelry before using any products that contain bleach, ammonia, alcohol, nail polish removers with acetone, or turpentine.
For cleaning your jewelry, try these suggestions:
-
Dust and perspiration can accumulate on jewelry, leading to grime, but it can be easily cleaned using a soft cloth.
-
Never use toothpaste for cleaning silver jewelry, as it can be too abrasive.
-
To maintain the shine and newness of your jewelry, it's best to apply perfumes, lotions, or hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
Above all, remember to enjoy your Label Johri piece. If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to contact us!"
