Wear your Jewelry often!
Your piece of Silver Jewelry should be worn often! But think of that all Silver can get dark, "oxidize". When this happens, clean your jewelry with Silver Cleaning - available at your lokal store. Store your jewelry in boxes. Don´t expose them to direct contact with Make up and Parfume.

Cleaning
Silver can be infected by Sulfur. There is Sulfur in the air, at our skin, in food, on painted surfaces, in textile, plastic, cigarette smoke and so on. In other words, the Silver oxidizes when exposed to Sulfur, a chemical reaction happens. At the beginning a thin yellowish layer covers the jewelry. In the next step it turns into dark blue/black. Some people has more Sulfur on their skin, for example due to medicine. High Air humidity also supports a fast oxidization. Polish your Jewelry if it has lost it´s shimering and has darkened. It becomes like new again!

Gold plated
If your piece of Jewelry is goldplated, there is a layer of Gold on top of the Silver. The Gold plating does not last for ever. Treat your piece of Jewelry as careful as possible. Don´t use it when taking a shower, a bath or go to bed. Be very careful when using Silver Cleaning as you can "clean away" the plating. When the Gold has faded, it´s the Silver you will see which also is beautiful. A Goldplating can be repeated.
