Jewelry Care Guide
Preserve the shine. Protect the story.
At SanKish, each piece of jewelry is crafted with precision and passion using high-quality 925 sterling silver. With a little love and care, your jewelry will remain as radiant as the day you received it. Follow our simple care guide to keep your silver shining for years to come.
Daily Wear Tips
-
Last On, First Off: Wear your jewelry after applying perfumes, lotions, or hair products. Chemicals can speed up tarnishing.
-
Keep It Dry: Remove your jewelry before bathing, swimming, or exercising. Moisture can dull the shine and encourage tarnish.
-
Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep away from household cleaners, chlorine, hand sanitizers, or beauty products.
Storage Tips
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep your jewelry in an airtight pouch or zip-lock bag to reduce exposure to air and humidity.
- Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Store pieces with anti-tarnish tabs or silica gel to slow down oxidation.
- Separate Pieces: Avoid scratching by storing each piece separately in soft pouches or boxes.
Cleaning Your Silver Jewelry
- Gently Wipe After Each Use: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a silver polishing cloth to remove oils and residue.
- Deep Clean Occasionally:
- Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.
- Soak your jewelry for 2–3 minutes.
- Gently clean with a soft brush (like a baby toothbrush).
- Rinse and pat dry completely with a soft towel.
Note: Avoid using toothpaste or harsh chemicals—they may damage your jewelry.
Special Care for Gemstones or Designs
- Some SanKish pieces may include natural stones or oxidized finishes. These need extra care:
- Do not use commercial silver cleaners or dips.
- Always use a soft cloth and avoid soaking.
- Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to protect colors.
Bonus Tips
- Wear often: Surprisingly, silver jewelry tarnishes less when worn frequently—the skin’s natural oils help protect it.
- Traveling? Keep your jewelry in travel pouches or small boxes to avoid tangling or damage.
