Tips to Keep It Clean, Shiny, and Long-Lasting
At Fio Collection, we use high-purity Peruvian Silver 950 and sterling silver 925, which deserves thoughtful care. Follow these simple guidelines to preserve the beauty of your handcrafted jewelry:
✅ Daily Care Recommendations
- Wear It Often
Silver looks its best when worn regularly—your skin’s natural oils help prevent tarnish. - Store It Properly
When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a sealed bag or airtight container to reduce exposure to air, dust and pollutants - Polish Before and After Use
Gently wipe your silver jewelry with a silver polishing cloth before and after wearing to remove oils and restore shine.
🧼 Deep Cleaning Methods
A) Warm Water & Baking Soda Solution
- Mix warm or hot water, liquid dish soap, and baking soda.
- Use your fingertip for smooth surfaces, or a soft toothbrush for hammered or filigree textures.
- Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
B) Toothpaste Method (in case there is no baking soda)
- Apply a small amount of non-gel, non-whitening toothpaste directly to the jewelry.
- Gently scrub with a fingertip or toothbrush.
- Ideal for filigree and hammered finishes.
- Rinse with warm or hot water and dry gently.
C) Baking Soda Paste
- Mix baking soda with water until it forms a creamy paste.
- Apply the paste with a soft cotton cloth.
- Rub gently; use a toothbrush for textured areas like hammered or filigree work.
- Rinse and dry completely.
- * I personally prefer option A because it is the most effective, and easy. But it’s up to you.
Important Final Steps
– After using any method above, let your jewelry air dry or pat gently with a soft towel, then finish with a silver polishing cloth for maximum shine.
– Every silver order includes a polishing cloth and instructions for cleaning
⚠️ What Not to Do
- Do not wash your silver polishing cloth. It contains special compounds that aid in cleaning.
- Avoid chemical cleaners or harsh solutions. These can damage or burn your jewelry, especially high-purity silver like Peruvian Silver 950.
