At Silvereena, we believe that every piece of jewellery tells a story. And just like any cherished possession, your silver jewellery deserves proper care to preserve its beauty and brilliance. Whether it’s your favorite sterling silver 92.5 earrings or a timeless necklace, here’s a simple guide to ensure your jewellery stays as stunning as the day you bought it.
💎 Storage Tips: Protect Your Shine
To avoid tarnish and damage:
- Always store your silver jewellery in air-tight ziplock pouches (we provide them with every order).
- Keep your pieces away from direct sunlight, humid environments, or wooden boxes, which may accelerate oxidation.
- Never mix your silver jewellery with other metals or pieces to avoid scratching or tangling.
💧 Care Guidelines: Handle with Love
Silver is a noble metal but sensitive to certain chemicals. To avoid discoloration:
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, lotions, soaps, hand sanitizers, and hairsprays.
- Remove your silver jewellery before swimming, showering, or doing household chores.
- Keep jewellery away from extreme temperatures and acidic substances.
✨ Cleaning Tips: Bring Back the Sparkle
Over time, your silver jewellery might oxidize (blacken)—a natural reaction with air and moisture.
- Gently clean it using a silver polishing cloth.
- You can also use mild silver cleaning solutions, but avoid scrubbing harshly.
- Avoid toothbrushes or abrasive items that may scratch your jewellery.
🛠 Avoiding Breakage: Handle With Care
Each Silvereena creation is handcrafted with love and deserves gentle handling.
- Store each piece separately in individual pouches to prevent breakage or entanglement.
- Be cautious while wearing or removing intricate pieces like chains, adjustable rings, or earrings.
- If you’re unsure how to wear a specific design, reach out to our support team first.
🔁 Plating & Re-plating: Restoring Brilliance
Our gold-plated silver jewellery is crafted with care but may fade with time due to exposure.
- If you need re-plating, we offer the service at a nominal cost.
- Alternatively, trusted local jewellers can also help restore the shine.
Each order from Silvereena includes a Silver Purity Certificate and a Jewellery Care Tag. Following these guidelines will ensure that your jewellery remains a lasting keepsake.
How to Check if Your Silver Jewellery is Genuine?
In today’s market, spotting authentic silver jewellery is crucial to ensure you’re getting what you paid for.
✅ What is Sterling Silver 92.5?
- Sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% of other alloys (usually copper) to add strength.
- Silver with 99% purity exists but is too soft for regular wear and is mostly used in pooja items or decorative pieces.
🔍 BIS Hallmarked Silver Jewellery in India
Since 2018, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has regulated silver jewellery through IS 2112, making hallmarking an important trust factor.
- Look for “925” or “Sterling” stamps on the jewellery.
- However, stamping alone doesn’t guarantee authenticity unless it is done by a BIS-approved hallmarking center.
- Authentic BIS hallmarked jewellery includes a unique identification number and company mark.
🧾 At Silvereena, Transparency is Our Promise
- We use only 92.5% pure silver in all our creations.
- Our jewellery is accompanied by authenticity certificates and will soon feature BIS hallmarks across the full range.
- We are committed to offering 100% genuine silver—no shortcuts, no compromises.
