Silver jewellery is more than an accessory — it is an expression of elegance, confidence, and timeless style. At Silnoi, every piece is crafted from BIS hallmarked 925 sterling silver, designed to complement your everyday sophistication.

To preserve its brilliance and luxury finish, proper care is essential. This guide will help you maintain the shine and longevity of your Silnoi jewellery.

Understanding Silver Tarnish

Sterling silver consists of 92.5% pure silver blended with 7.5% alloy (typically copper) to enhance strength and durability. Over time, exposure to air, moisture, perfumes, and chemicals may cause a natural reaction known as tarnishing.

Tarnish does not damage your jewellery permanently — with the right care, its shine can always be restored.

Daily Care Recommendations

1. Avoid Chemical Exposure

Silver reacts to chemicals found in:

• Perfumes and deodorants

• Hair sprays and cosmetics

• Sanitizers and lotions

• Cleaning agents

For best results, wear your jewellery after completing your makeup and grooming routine.

2. Remove Before Water Activities

Water and sweat can accelerate tarnishing. Remove your jewellery before:

• Bathing or showering

• Swimming

• Exercising

• Washing dishes or household cleaning

3. Store with Care

Proper storage protects your jewellery from oxidation and scratches.

• Store pieces in an airtight pouch or box

• Keep them in a cool, dry place

• Avoid leaving jewellery exposed to the open air

• Store each piece separately to prevent friction

For added protection, place a silica gel packet in your jewellery box to absorb moisture.

Cleaning Your Silver Jewellery

Gentle Polishing (Recommended for Regular Care)

Use a soft microfiber or silver polishing cloth. Gently wipe the surface to restore shine. Avoid rough fabrics or tissues that may cause scratches.

Mild Soap Method (For Deeper Cleaning)

1. Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of mild liquid soap.

2. Soak the jewellery for 3–5 minutes.

3. Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean intricate areas.

4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

5. Dry completely before storing.
