Jewellery Care Guide
Caring for Your Silver Jewellery
At Axora Life, every jewellery piece is crafted with premium quality silver to bring together elegance, durability, and timeless style. Silver jewellery is precious by nature and requires proper care to maintain its brilliance and finish over time. With simple everyday care and careful storage, your jewellery can continue to shine beautifully for years.
Understanding Silver Jewellery
Silver is a naturally beautiful precious metal that may gradually tarnish when exposed to air, moisture, humidity, and chemicals. Tarnishing is a normal process and does not affect the quality or purity of the jewellery. Regular maintenance and proper handling can easily help restore and preserve its natural shine.
Daily Care Tips
To keep your silver jewellery looking its best, avoid direct contact with perfumes, deodorants, lotions, hair sprays, sanitizers, and other chemical-based products. These substances may reduce the shine and affect the surface finish of the jewellery over time. We recommend wearing your jewellery only after applying makeup, perfumes, or skincare products.
It is also advisable to remove your jewellery before bathing, swimming, exercising, or doing household chores. Water, sweat, chlorine, and cleaning chemicals may impact the lustre of silver and increase tarnishing. Proper care during daily activities helps maintain the beauty and durability of your jewellery.
Proper Storage of Jewellery
Correct storage is essential for maintaining the quality of silver jewellery. Jewellery should always be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or airtight jewellery box. Keeping each jewellery piece separately helps prevent scratches, tangling, and unnecessary friction.
Exposure to moisture and open air for long periods may speed up oxidation and tarnishing. Storing jewellery carefully after every use helps preserve its shine and finish.
Cleaning Your Silver Jewellery
Regular cleaning helps maintain the natural brilliance of silver jewellery. After each use, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft microfiber or cotton cloth to remove dust, oils, and moisture. For occasional deep cleaning, mild soap and lukewarm water can be used carefully.
After cleaning, make sure the jewellery is completely dry before storing it. Avoid using harsh chemicals, toothpaste, abrasive cleaners, or rough brushes, as these may damage the polish and surface texture of the jewellery.
Tarnishing and Oxidation
Over time, silver jewellery may develop a darker appearance due to natural oxidation. This is a common characteristic of silver and should not be considered a defect. Tarnishing can easily be cleaned using a silver polishing cloth or a suitable silver cleaning solution.
The speed of tarnishing may vary depending on environmental conditions, humidity, skin chemistry, and frequency of use. With proper care and regular cleaning, silver jewellery can maintain its beautiful appearance for a long time.
Care for Stone & Plated Jewellery
Jewellery pieces that include stones, enamel detailing, or special plating require extra attention and gentle handling. These designs should be protected from excessive moisture, direct heat, and strong chemicals. Avoid soaking such jewellery in water for long periods and always store them separately to protect their finish and detailing.
Travelling with Jewellery
While travelling, it is recommended to carry jewellery in separate soft pouches or travel jewellery cases. This helps prevent scratches, tangling, and accidental damage. Jewellery should also be kept away from direct sunlight, humidity, and excessive heat during travel.
