CARE OF STERLING SILVER

Sterling silver is a precious metal which naturally will tarnish over time and may require cleaning occasionally.

It can get darker, dull and lose its shine with just constant exposure to open air in long period of time, however, light tarnish can be restored easily DIY (Do-It-Yourself) by wiping using a polishing cloth. Professional jewelry cleaner is recommended for heavy tarnished sterling silver jewelry.

When you are not wearing your jewelry, please store it inside DEVATA pouch to help minimize tarnishing and less exposure to open air.

Always put on your sterling silver jewelry last to avoid contact with hair products, perfumes, cosmetics or lotions. Over time, these products will build residue on your jewelry.

Do not wear sterling silver jewelry in the ocean, hot tub, pool, bath or shower as saltwater, heat or chlorine will damage your jewelry. While it may not instantly damage your jewelry, always keep your jewelry dry to maintain longer lifetime. You may wear your sterling silver jewelry during workout and get it wet occasionally, however, it’s recommended to dry it with cloth towel as soon as possible.
