JEWELRY CARE GUIDE
SILVER SPARKLE FOR A LIFETIME
Your ARCHIV° jewelry is more than an accessory.
It’s a statement.
Handmade and finely crafted, these silver pieces deserve intentional care to maintain their brilliance for years to come.
With mindful habits and regular upkeep, your jewelry can shine beautifully for a lifetime.
WHY SILVER TARNISHES
Over time, silver naturally tarnishes due to exposure to oxygen and sulfur in the air. This creates a dull or darkened surface.
Fortunately, while tarnish affects appearance, it doesn’t damage the metal and can be removed with proper cleaning.
HOW TO PREVENT TARNISHING
Simply wearing your silver jewellery will slow the process of tarnishing.
The natural movement helps keep silver polished.
Being careful with how you store and wear the silver will also help reduce the speed of tarnishing.
KEEP THESE TIPS IN MIND
Store each piece in an airtight bag to reduce exposure to air and moisture.
Avoid humid environments — humidity speeds up tarnishing.
Keep silver away from extreme heat and direct sunlight, which can lead to discoloration.
WHAT TO AVOID
Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing or using hot tubs. Chlorine and salt water can damage the metal.
Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, sunscreens, and soaps. These can leave residue that dulls the surface.
Take off jewelry during workouts or physical activity. Sweat can damage delicate details.
Avoid wearing jewelry during manual tasks like gardening, construction or DIY activities.
Be cautious in summer. Sand, salt and sun can wear down silver more quickly — after a beachy getaway, consider a deep clean.
HOW TO CLEAN SILVER
When your jewelry looks dull or begins to darken, it’s time for a refresh.
Use a professional silver cleaning cloth or solution specifically made for silver. Cleaning cloths should be soft and contain anti-tarnish agents.
Avoid abrasive household cleaners that can scratch or harm the finish.
ARCHIV° offers carefully selected cleaning products — tested and approved for our pieces.

STORING SILVER JEWELRY
Choose a clean, dry, and well-organized jewelry box or an airtight plastic bag to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
Avoid storing near heat sources or moisture, like radiators, humidifiers or windows. Proper storage plays a huge role in preserving your jewelry.
Everyday pieces can be stored in accessible trays or mini boxes on your dresser. This helps you wear and enjoy them more often.
Keep pieces separated — either in individual compartments or wrapped in soft tissue paper to avoid scratching and tangling.
