Jewellery Care

Always store your jewellery in the plastic (air-tight) zip-lock bag in which it came in to protect from tarnishing (oxidization) caused by free radicals in the air.
Polish each piece with a microfiber cloth after wear, to remove fingerprints and other residue
Avoid contact with perfumes, oils, lotions, makeup, etc
If your sterling silver jewellery starts to turn a golden shade (the first sign of tarnish!), it needs to be cleaned. If your sterling silver jewellery has turned dark grey/black, it definitely needs to be cleaned!
Electrolyte cleaning is recommended. You can google/youtube this method for photo/video demos, or simply follow these directions: (safe for pearls and crystals)

Line a shallow dish with tinfoil (shiny side up)
Lay jewellery on foil
Coat jewellery with a generous amount of baking soda
Pour nearly boiling water over jewellery
You will notice a foaming reaction and slight sulfur smell
This is the chemical reaction between the tinfoil and baking soda, which almost instantly removes tarnish from sterling silver
Use a wooden utensil to move jewellery around on foil, making sure each side touches foil
Leave jewellery to soak for a few minutes
Stubborn (old) tarnish may take a few repetitions of this method
