Don't Let Your Sterling Silver Grow Up To Be Tarnished

Every jewelry box has or should have Silver jewelry in it.  If yours doesn't, you have been deprived of some of nature's simple beauty. You probably told yourself or someone told you to stay away from Sterling Silver because it tarnishes.  Bah!  Yes Sterling Silver tarnishes if you are careless or lazy.  But it doesn't have to be that way.  Show the world who you really are and buy some Sterling Silver jewelry. Many quality Sterling Silver pieces have a special clear coating on them like Rhodium that is a by-product of platinum.  It is very hard and protects the Silver from the oxidizing power of the air or harsh chemicals. Sulfur and ammonia are two of these harsh chemicals and are found in your perspiration.  Every time you handle the Silver jewelry, simply wipe it off with a jewelers cloth.  The online jeweler Sterling Canyon provides a jewelers cloth free of charge to all customers.  Never bath your jewelry in a cleaning solution.  Just wipe it clean each time its handled.  Just a few seconds with save you a lot of time later. And keep your jewelry looking new for many years.
