How to Clean and Care for Your 925 Silver Jewellery at Home
925 Silver Jewellery is timeless, elegant, and versatile — making it a beloved part of every jewellery collection. But like all precious metals, it needs a little care to maintain its shine. Over time, 925 sterling silver can tarnish due to exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals. The good news? You can easily restore its brilliance at home with some simple steps.
Whether you own a piece from the Zarwaana collection or any other sterling silver collection, this guide will help you preserve your jewellery’s beauty for years to come.
Why Does 925 Sterling Silver Tarnish?
925 silver is made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. While the copper adds strength, it also makes the jewellery prone to tarnishing when exposed to elements like:
Air and humidity
Sweat and body oils
Perfumes and cosmetics
Household cleaning products
