Soft and Sticky's jewelry comes high polished with a mirror finish unless otherwise noted. All jewelry is made in solid recycled sterling silver (unless noted) and is meant to be worn often, not preciously. We think that sterling silver gets better with everyday, gradual wear and that scratches and natural patina that develops adds warmth and depth. Solid sterling silver jewelry can always be cared and restored with cleaning and polishing to look new again.
| Regular Wear |
Sterling silver can be considered relatively low maintenance, as with regular wear, the oils on your skin prevents tarnishing. It's generally been advised to remove your sterling silver jewelry before washing your hands and in the shower. Water itself is not harmful to sterling silver, however it is a suggested precaution as some soaps and other cleaning chemicals may dull the shine and lustre. You may dry your jewelry after its been in contact with water to remove residual moisture that could contribute to uneven tarnishing. Remove your jewelry for activities like swimming in salty/chlorine water and strong cleaning chemicals and perfumes. |
| Cleaning |
You may regularly clean your sterling silver jewelry to prevent tarnish buildup. The recommended method: Cleaning with a 2-Part Polishing Cloth Use our 2-part reusable jewelry polishing cloth made to clean and polish sterling silver. One part of this cloth is made with super fine polishing compound that removes tarnish and oxidization, and one part brings shine back to jewelry. You may also find these available at other jewelry and general stores. |
