How to make your silver and gold plated jewelry stay shiny forever

Jewelry is more than decoration, it preserves stories. That is why it is important that we give it the attention it deserves. Whether you’re in love with 925 sterling silver pieces or those topped with warm 14k gold plating, proper maintenance will keep your jewelry shiny, durable, and ready for new memories.

What is 925 silver and why is it special?

925 silver contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (most commonly copper), giving it the perfect balance of nobility and solidity. When plated with 14k gold plating, a delicate harmony of brilliance and sophistication is obtained – exactly what Silver Dreams Jewelry recognizes and cherishes in every piece.

How to save it?

Take off jewelry when using perfumes, lotions, detergents, or washing your hands. Chemicals can affect the color and shine, especially in gilding.

Do not wear it on the beach, in the pool or gym. Salt, chlorine, and sweat can accelerate the darkening of metals.

Clean it gently. Use a soft dry cloth for polishing. If necessary, wash it in lukewarm water with a little mild soap, rinse well and dry completely.

Store it properly. Jewelry loves its place – preferably in a soft bag or box, separated from other pieces so as not to scratch.
