How to Care for Sterling Silver
One of the most asked questions we get from our customers, is how to care for their sterling silver jewelry. The number one way to make sure your silver stays looking wonderful, is to wear it. We once had a customer tell us that she accidentally dropped a sterling silver necklace behind some furniture. There it sat for almost a year until she was doing some spring cleaning and discovered it. My how it had tarnished! Our customer took some cleaning solution to the necklace, but it still wasn’t looking its best. She wore it anyway, thinking it had a nice aged look. After a few days of wearing this necklace, she noticed that it started looking shinier and shinier. She realized that by simply wearing the necklace, she had naturally polished it even more, and with continued polishing with our cleaning solution and polishing cloths, she was able to restore it to its original state. So, the number one answer to the question, “how to care for sterling silver?” is: LOVE IT AND WEAR IT!
Of course you can’t wear every piece of sterling silver jewelry you have everyday, so sometimes your sterling silver pieces might need a little help, and you’ll find yourself researching “how to care for sterling silver.” While you’re not wearing it, there are a few tips to follow that will keep your sterling silver looking as good as new.

Lastly we have some wonderful cleaning solution that will help keep your Roma Designer Jewelry looking as good as the day you bought it. Use the cleaning solution as needed.
