Tip for the day...

 
Storing sterling silver jewelry...
Storing your sterling silver in the open air and humidity for extended periods of
time can cause it to tarnish quickly. Tarnish first appears as a golden hue then
quickly turns to black. This is a normal process that is caused by oxidization and
moisture from air and believe it or not sunshine. To keep tarnish to a minimum it
is advised that you store your jewelry pieces when not wearing them.
To reduce tarnish and keep your pieces tarnish free for months at a time, it is
recommended that you keep your sterling silver jewelry in an air-tight protective
bag, you can use a plastic zip lock bag.

Until next time
