Care

• Wipe with a soft cloth after use to remove oils or residuePolish 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!
