Care
- Wipe with a soft cloth after use to remove oils or residue
- Polish with a polishing cloth or silver dip when needed — if using silver dip, finish with a dry cloth
- Never wear in natural hot springs or volcanic pools — the minerals blacken silver within seconds
- Store in the box or a soft pouch when not wearing
- Arrange chains in loops to avoid tangling — never force or pull
Pro tip! Find the small ziplock bag under the soft insert in your box. Store your silver in it between wears — it darkens far more slowly. Not as fancy — but practical!
