Silver, specifically sterling silver, will tarnish from oxidation. To prolong the shine and life of your silver jewelry:

• Avoid Wearing Silver in the Shower, Avoid Pools, and Avoid Hot Tubs or Springs. 
• Remove Jewelry When Doing Household Chores, Working Outside, or Exercising. 
• Remove Jewelry Before Going to Bed. 
  
• Avoid Contact with Lotions, Oils, and Perfumes; put your jewelry on last! 
• Clean periodically with water and mild soap, and polish with microfiber or polishing cloth.
