Care Guide for Sterling Silver 925 with Cubic Zirconia

 

1. Cleaning and Maintenance:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe your jewelry after wearing it. This helps remove oils and dirt that can accumulate over time.
  • Deep Cleaning: To clean sterling silver, use a silver polishing cloth or a solution specifically designed for silver. For cubic zirconia, gently clean with a mild soap solution and a soft toothbrush. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a clean cloth.

 

2. Avoiding Damage:

  • Chemicals and Harsh Substances: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents, as these can tarnish the silver and damage the cubic zirconia.
  • Swimming and Hot Tubs: Remove your jewelry before swimming in chlorinated water or hot tubs, as these can damage both the silver and cubic zirconia.
  • Heavy Impact: Avoid wearing your jewelry during physical activities or when engaging in tasks that might cause scratches or other damage.

 

3. Storage:

  • Proper Storage: Store your sterling silver and cubic zirconia jewelry in a cool, dry place. Use a jewelry box or pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
  • Anti-Tarnish Pouches: Consider using anti-tarnish pouches or cloths to help prevent tarnishing of the silver.

 

4. Handling:

  • Avoid Excessive Touching: Handle your jewelry with clean hands to prevent transferring oils or dirt.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any loose settings or other issues and have them repaired by a professional jeweler if necessary.

 

5. Special Care for Cubic Zirconia:

  • Cleaning Solution: Use a gentle soap and water solution for cleaning. 
  • Dry Thoroughly: Ensure that your jewelry is completely dry before storing it to avoid moisture damage.

 

6. Professional Maintenance:

  • Jeweler Check-Up: Have your jewelry inspected by a professional jeweler regularly to ensure that the settings are secure and to address any wear and tear.
