Caring for Jewelry & Maintaining Shine – Care Tips for Silver & Gold-Plated Jewelry
Caring for silver jewelry
High-quality jewelry deserves the right care. With a few simple tips, your silver jewelry and gold-plated pieces from Sucre Fine Jewelry will remain beautiful and radiant for a long time.
How to properly care for 925 sterling silver
Sterling silver can tarnish over time – this is a natural process. Here is how to prevent it:
- Wipe jewelry with a soft cloth after wearing
- Avoid contact with perfume, sweat, chlorine, and household chemicals
- Store jewelry individually in an airtight bag or jewelry box
- Use a special silver polishing cloth or mild soap with lukewarm water for cleaning
Caring for gold-plated jewelry
Our yellow gold and rose gold-plated pieces feature a fine 18K coating. This is how to maintain their shine:
- Put on gold-plated jewelry last – after perfume, cream, and hair care products
- Do not wear in water (showering, bathing, swimming)
- Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth – no abrasive cleaners
- Store separately from other jewelry pieces to avoid scratches
General storage tips
- Store jewelry in a cool, dry place away from light
- Keep hoop earrings and stud earrings in pairs
- For long-term storage: use airtight zip bags with a small silica gel packet
When to visit a jeweler?
For heavy tarnishing or damage, we recommend consulting a professional. Professional cleaning and refreshing of the gold plating can make your jewelry look brand new.
