How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewellery (and Keep It Shining)

There’s something unmistakably elegant about silver—it catches the light in a way few other metals can. But like anything worth keeping, 925 silver needs care to maintain its glow.

Here’s how to make sure your Mahsa Jewellery pieces stay as stunning as the day you got them:

1. Wear it often

It may sound surprising, but the more you wear your silver, the better it looks. Natural skin oils help prevent tarnishing. So don’t let your favourites sit in a box—put them on and enjoy them.

2. Avoid harsh chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hairsprays—even tap water—can accelerate tarnishing. Try to apply beauty products before putting on your jewellery. If you're cleaning, cooking, or swimming, it’s best to take pieces off.

3. Store it properly

Air and moisture are silver’s enemies. Store your pieces in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box, preferably with anti-tarnish strips. Keep items separate to avoid scratches.

4. Clean gently, not aggressively

Skip abrasive materials. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to polish your jewellery—ideally one made for silver. For deeper cleans, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush. Dry it completely before storing.

5. Bring it back to us

If you’re unsure about how to clean or refresh your piece, we’re here for you. You can always pop into our Camden boutique and we’ll guide you on how to revive your jewellery or offer professional polishing services if needed.

Silver is timeless, but with a little care, it can also be ageless. A few small habits go a long way—and your jewellery will thank you with a lasting shine.
