Jewellery Care

Caring for Your Sterling Silver Jewellery

At Asttery™, we are committed to providing you with high-quality 925 sterling silver jewellery designed to last.

While we take great care in ensuring the longevity of our pieces, silver is a delicate metal that can naturally tarnish over time due to oxidation.

Silver jewellery may experience discolouration due to various factors, including moisture, chemicals, frequent cleaning, storage conditions, and even skin pH levels. To maintain its shine and appearance, regular care is essential.

We highly recommend reading our Jewellery Care Guide to ensure your silver pieces remain in their best condition for years to come.

Care Guide

Follow these guidelines to ensure that all your pieces retain their durability and perfect appearance as the years go by.

Store your jewellery in a secure pouch, box, or airtight container in a dry, humidity-free environment, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help maintain its quality and prevent tarnishing.

Always store your jewellery separately to avoid friction between pieces, which can cause scratches or damage.

Silver naturally tarnishes and develops dark spots over time because of a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, called oxidation, and to keep it looking shiny, you should clean your silver items on a regular basis to prevent the formation of black spots

Regularly polish your jewellery with a jewellery polishing cloth to remove residues, tarnish, and to restore its shine.

If your piece requires deeper cleaning, use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Gently rinse with water and dry. Ensure your jewellery is completely dry before storing it.

Apply beauty products such as perfume, hair products, sunscreen, makeup, cosmetics, or deodorant before putting on your jewellery, as certain chemicals in these products can damage the finish of your pieces.

Always remove your jewellery before bathing, sleeping, working out, swimming or using abrasive cleaning products, to help maintain its colour and finish.

Hand-finished pieces may contain slight variations in design, color, and size, adding to their unique charm and beauty.

We want you to love your charm, and we are here to help ensure it remains a special part of your collection for years to come.
