Following these few simple tips will help you preserve your silver jewelry's original luster.

Store your silver in a cool, dry place, to avoid oxidation. Try not to overexpose your silver jewelry to artificial light or sunlight.

Store your silver jewelry in a tarnish-proof cloth, if a soft pouch is available, even better. Try and store each item individually. Do not store silver loose in drawers, as scratches will occur if you toss your jewelry into a compartment or allow pieces to rub against each other.

If a piece of silver jewelry becomes tarnished and chances are it will happen no matter how careful you are, use a paste, liquid polish or a treated polishing cloth to restore its original luster.
