Genuine 925 sterling silver crystal jewellery is made to last — but a little care keeps it bright, tarnish-free and energetically clear for years. Here's how to look after your pieces.

Everyday do's and don'ts

  • Do take jewellery off before showering, swimming, or applying perfume and lotion.
  • Do wear it often — the natural oils of your skin actually help prevent tarnish.
  • Don't soak crystal-set pieces in water or harsh cleaners; some stones are porous or water-sensitive.

Cleaning your silver

Gently buff the metal with a soft silver-polishing cloth. For the crystal, wipe with a dry or barely-damp soft cloth — avoid brushes and chemicals. To keep the stone energetically fresh, cleanse it with moonlight or selenite instead of water (see our cleansing guide).

Storing it right

Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box, away from humidity, so they don't scratch each other or tarnish.
