Care Instructions
Keep your Artistica silver jewelry looking beautiful for a lifetime
Caring for 925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time — this is chemistry, not defect. With simple care, your pieces will stay bright and beautiful indefinitely.
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising. Chlorine and salt water accelerate tarnish. Apply perfumes and lotions before putting on your jewelry — not after.
Store pieces in the original Artistica box or an anti-tarnish pouch. Keep pieces separated to prevent scratching. A cool, dry place away from direct sunlight is ideal.
Use a soft silver polishing cloth for light tarnish. For heavier tarnish, a gentle silver cleaning solution works well — rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely.
Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or toothpaste on silver. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners on pieces with gemstones — the vibration can loosen settings.
Clean gemstone pieces with a soft, damp cloth only. Porous stones like turquoise and pearl should never be soaked. Check prong settings periodically for security.
We recommend a professional cleaning and inspection once a year. Artistica offers a lifetime repair service on all branded pieces — contact us to arrange.
