After Care
How to Care for Your Silver Zeebra Jewellery
As a natural material, silver may tarnish over time, but with proper care, you can keep your jewellery looking its best for years to come. Tarnishing is a normal process and doesn’t affect the quality of your pieces. Simply clean them with a soft polishing cloth to restore their shine.
Helpful Tips for Long-Lasting Jewellery:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewellery away from perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as these can damage the finish.
- Protect from Scratches: Silver is a naturally soft alloy and can scratch easily, so handle your jewellery with care and avoid knocking it against hard surfaces.
- Limit Contact with Water: Remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, or washing up to prevent damage or tarnishing.
- Be Cautious with Beauty Products: Always remove your jewellery before applying makeup, hair sprays, or beauty products.
- Take Off Before Bed: Remove your jewellery before sleeping to avoid bending, mis-shaping, or accidental damage.
- Adjust Butterfly Backs: Occasionally pinch the butterfly backs of your stud earrings to ensure a secure fit.
- Store Properly: To reduce tarnishing, store your jewellery in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and moisture.
How to Clean Your Jewellery:
Over time, sterling silver can naturally tarnish but the good news is, it’s easy to bring back its shine! Here’s how:
- Use a silver polishing cloth
Gently rub your jewellery with a soft silver polishing cloth (like the one included with your order) to remove tarnish and restore its shine. This is the quickest and safest method. - Warm water & mild soap
Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water. Soak your jewellery for a few minutes, then gently clean with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. - Avoid harsh cleaners
Steer clear of abrasive cleaners, toothpaste, baking soda, or anything that might scratch or damage your jewellery—especially if it has delicate textures or gold-filled details.
- Store it well
Clean jewellery before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place (ideally in a sealed bag or box) to reduce tarnishing and scratching.
With these simple care tips, your Silver zeebra Jewellery will remain as beautiful as the day you first wore it.
