Preventative Care Is Always Better — Some Steps To Consider.
Keep your jewelry dry. Water tends to contain contaminants and chemicals that may tarnish silver.
Wear your jewelry last. Lotions and perfumes have chemicals that can cause your jewelry to tarnish. Applying them and allowing them to dry before wearing your jewelry will prevent this.
Remove jewelry during the following times:
Household chores, such as dishes, laundry, and when using cleaning supplies
When exercising, at the gym, or playing contact sports
When showering or bathing
Swimming, hot tubs, or saunas
Very hot places (such as when lying out at the beach or pool)
When getting ready (i.e: putting on lotion, makeup, hair products)
Preparing, cooking, or eating foods that contain sulfur (this includes eggs and mayonnaise).
Outside chores or tasks, such as gardening
Store your jewelry in an air-tight bag or container. Air exposure accelerates tarnishing of silver through oxidization, this can be prevented through proper storage of your jewelry. Additionally, it is recommended to store pieces separately to avoid scratching.
