Jewelry Care
all ruthie L studio jewelry are made of 100% 925 sterling silver
*please pay special attention to the care instructions below to preserve the jewelry in the best way possible.*
Wear often:
you can avoid tarnish by wearing your jewelry often. the oils in your skin will “clean” the silver and keep it looking shiny.
Cleaning:
- use warm water and mild soap
- polish chain with a soft cloth or polishing cloth (do not use paper towels or tissues to polish your jewelry as they contain fibers that can scratch the silver.)
- always dry the jewelry before storing
Remove your jewelry when:
- bathing
- working out
- swimming in the pool or ocean
- putting on lotion, hairspray, perfume, or any other beauty products
- cleaning the house or using harsh chemicals
**If the jewelry is exposed to any of the above, please dry the piece before storing to preserve quality/vibrancy.**
Storage:
- in airtight plastic bags with anti-tarnish strips
- in separate bags (silver is a soft metal, so the individual pieces can scratch each other)
- link or chain necklaces/bracelets should be kept unclasped or unhooked to prevent scratching as well
- in an area with low humidity
- place a piece of chalk, a packet of activated charcoal, or a container of silica gel in the storage area to minimize tarnish
