Silpu Jewellery Care
At Silpu, we believe that jewellery isn't just something you wear it's a part of who you are. Every piece in our collection is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your unique story, your elegance, and your sparkle. Our jewellery is made with pure 925 sterling silver and coated with a protective rhodium plating to ensure long-lasting shine and durability. But just like any treasure, it needs a little love and care to keep its magic alive. Whether you're dressing up for a special moment or adding a hint of shimmer to your everyday look, your Silpu silver jewellery deserves the right care to shine beautifully for years to come.
Explore our expert care tips below to keep your silver looking stunning, prevent tarnish, and ensure your favourite pieces stay as timeless as your style.
DO’s: How to Care for Your Silver Jewellery
1. Store It Right
Always store your silver jewellery in the airtight pouches or boxes provided with your SILPU purchase. This protects it from air, moisture, and dust which can lead to tarnish over time.
2. Wipe Regularly
Give your jewellery a quick wipe after wearing it using a soft polishing cloth. This removes body oils, sweat, and pollutants that can dull its shine.
3. Clean Gently at Home
For light dirt or residue, clean your silver pieces using a mix of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently rub with your fingers or a soft brush, rinse, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
4. Remove Tough Tarnish Safely
For more stubborn tarnish, use a paste of baking soda and water. Apply gently with a cloth, rinse well, and dry completely. Avoid using this method frequently, as excessive abrasion can wear down the silver over time.
5. Apply Products First
Always wear your jewellery after applying perfume, lotions, makeup, or hairspray. These products contain chemicals that can dull or tarnish silver.
6. Rotate Your Jewellery
Give your favourite pieces a rest by rotating what you wear. This prevents overuse and allows you to enjoy your entire SILPU collection.
7. Annual Professional Cleaning
Once a year, consider a professional cleaning and inspection for your treasured items. This keeps them in pristine condition and ensures settings and clasps are secure.
8. Travel Smart
When you're on the go, pack your jewellery in individual airtight pouches to prevent tangling, scratches, or exposure to humidity.
DON’Ts: What to Avoid to Protect Your Jewellery
1. Avoid Chemicals
Keep your silver jewellery away from perfumes, deodorants, lotions, hair sprays, and other harsh chemicals. These can corrode or tarnish the metal over time.
2. Don’t Wear It in Water
Always remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing, or working out. Chlorine, salt water, and even sweat can damage the silver’s finish.
3. No Pile-Ups
Never store multiple pieces together. Silver is a soft metal and can easily get scratched, tangled, or damaged by contact with other items.
4. Skip Abrasive Cleaners
Avoid using rough cloths, steel wool, or harsh chemicals. These can damage the delicate rhodium plating that protects and enhances your jewellery’s shine.
5. Say No to Humidity & Sunlight
Don’t store silver jewellery in damp bathrooms or direct sunlight. Moisture and heat speed up tarnishing and may dull the finish.
6. Don’t Panic Over Tarnish
Tarnish is a natural reaction and doesn’t mean your jewellery is fake. It’s reversible with proper cleaning so breathe easy!
7. Be Gentle with Chains & Clasps
Avoid tugging, pulling, or yanking on delicate chains. Check clasps and settings regularly for signs of wear or looseness.
