Can you shower with sterling silver jewellery? It’s a question that many people ask, and the answer is yes - you can shower with sterling silver jewellery as long as you take care of it properly. Sterling silver is a soft metal, so it’s important to make sure you protect your jewellery from scratches and other damage. In this article, we’ll discuss how to take care of your sterling silver jewellery so that it lasts for years.

What Is Sterling Silver?

Sterling silver is a type of metal that is made up of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Being a soft metal means that it can easily be scratched or damaged if not taken care of properly.

Does Sterling Silver Tarnish?

Sterling silver tarnishes over time as it reacts with the chemicals in the air, but it can be cleaned and polished to restore its shine. Proper care for sterling silver jewellery can help keep it looking new for years to come. Ways to protect your sterling silver jewellery from tarnish include keeping it in a tarnish-resistant bag or case when you're not wearing it, and avoiding contact with harsh chemicals or perfumes.

How To Protect Sterling Silver

There are a few things you can do to protect your sterling silver jewellery from scratches and other damage. One of the most important things is to avoid wearing your jewellery when you are doing chores or working with harsh chemicals. Another thing to keep in mind is to store your jewellery in a jewellery box or pouch when you’re not wearing it. This will help protect it from getting scratched or tarnished. Finally, you can also clean your sterling silver jewellery with a polishing cloth occasionally to keep it looking shiny and new.
