Maintenance Joe Wall jewelry is designed for daily wear but requires proper care. Protect jewelry by following these tips. It will help extend the life span of jewelry and its ability to be worn for generations to come. To keep jewelry looking its best we recommend buff it with the polishing cloth enclosed in the package after each wear. Store jewelry away from direct sunlight and ideally somewhere with low humidity to avoid tarnishing the sterling silver. A lined jewelry box or pouch is a good place to store the piece. Proper Care Sterling Silver will tarnish. It is a fact of life. Sterling silver jewelry will become tarnished, it is normal. Once exposed to air, it will react to moisture in the air, causing the tarnishing. Silver also will begin to tarnish faster in areas with high humidity and a larger contrast of air pollution. Chemicals can also speed up the tarnishing process. If silver jewelry is often exposed to body lotion, perfume, hair spray, deodorant, or bleach, it is very likely that silver jewelry will tarnish faster than someone who is not exposed to these types of chemicals. It is advised to keep jewelry away from fruit juices, olives, and vinegar. If jewelry piece has tarnished but it is not too severe, it can be buffed out with a special silver cloth, or any nonabrasive cloth. Since silver is such a pliable and soft metal, it is more likely to become scratched than other metals. Avoid polishing silver with paper towels, tissues, or toilet paper. When polishing, use long back and forth motions following along with the grain of your silver. If rub in small circles, will intensify, or magnify the minuscule scratches on jewelry. While rubbing in back-and-forth motions, ensure that it is moved to separate sections of cloth or it is may end up putting the tarnish right back on to jewelry. Can be used soap and water to clean jewelry too. We recommend a phosphate-free dishwasher liquid like Dawn Dish Soap. Use warm water, a few drops of soap, and a non-abrasive cleaning cloth like microfiber. Joe Wall 925 Sterling Jewelry does have a rhodium coating, it shouldn't be buffed off. Use the back-and-forth wiping motions to ensure that is moved to separate sections of piece. Once complete, rinse with warm water when is done and pat dry.
