HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR STERLING SILVER
JEWELLERY: DO'S AND DON'TS

“Jewellery is like the perfect spice – it always complements what’s already there.”

 – Diane Von Furstenberg

At ELAVIE, each piece of sterling silver is more than just jewellery — it’s a delicate reflection of elegance, craftsmanship, and meaning. Like any beautiful story, your jewellery deserves gentle care to ensure it shines bright, day after day, year after year.

Here’s your simple, no-nonsense guide to keeping your ELAVIE sterling silver pieces as timeless as the feelings they hold.

The Do's: Show Your Jewellery Some Love

  1. Do Wear It Often

Yes, you read that right — wearing your silver jewellery actually helps prevent tarnish. Natural oils from your skin act as a barrier.

 

 “You should see me in a crown.”

 – Billie Eilish

…and that crown sparkles more when worn, not hidden away!

 

  1. Do Store It Properly

Store your silver in airtight containers or pouches. Keep each piece in a separate cloth bag to avoid scratching.

 

 “After all, tomorrow is another day.” – Gone with the Wind

…but don’t let tomorrow come with tangled chains or tarnish!

 

  1. Do Clean It Gently

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to polish your jewellery. A silver polishing cloth works best. For deeper cleans, use mild soap and warm water — never harsh chemicals.

Quick Tip: Gently dry after cleaning to avoid water spots.
  1. Do Remove Before Activities

Take off your silver pieces before swimming, bathing, or hitting the gym. Chlorine, salt water, and sweat can cause tarnish and dullness.

 “It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”

– Indiana Jones

Protect your jewellery from unnecessary mileage!

 
  1. Do Check Your Jewellery Regularly

Look out for loose stones, clasps, or signs of wear. A quick check can prevent damage and loss.

 

THE DON'TS: WHAT TO AVOID WITH YOUR STERLING SILVER

  1. Don’t Expose to Harsh Chemicals

Perfumes, lotions, hair sprays, and cleaning agents are the enemy of sterling silver. Apply these before wearing your jewellery.

 “Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.”

 – Pearl Strachan Hurd

So do chemicals — protect your silver!

 

  1. Don’t Store in Humid Places

Bathrooms or kitchen counters are not safe zones for your jewellery. Moisture speeds up tarnishing.

“Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.” – Zoolander

…But not for silver. Keep it dry!

 

  1. Don’t Sleep in Your Jewellery

While it may feel romantic to never take it off, sleeping in jewellery can bend or damage delicate pieces.

 

 “Even miracles take a little time.”

 – Cinderella

Give your jewellery a little rest too.

 

  1. Don’t Use Tissues or Paper Towels to Clean

They contain fibers that can scratch silver. Stick to soft clothes designed for jewellery.

BONUS: ELAVIE’S LITTLE CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Every ELAVIE piece comes with elegance — and responsibility. We recommend using your ELAVIE jewellery box not just for safekeeping, but as a daily ritual of love and preservation. Let it be your reminder that “a little care goes a long way.”

 

 “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

– Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

…Or in our case, polish the silver

 

Final Words

Your jewellery tells your story. With the right care, it will whisper elegance for generations. Whether you wear it daily or on special occasions, your ELAVIE piece is an extension of your style, spirit, and timeless charm.

So treat your jewellery like you treat yourself — with grace, love, and intention.
