Silver-plated jewellery is a type of jewellery that features a thin layer of silver coating a base metal, typically copper, brass, or nickel.
This outer silver layer gives the appearance and some of the properties of solid silver but at a more affordable price - if not cared for properly, this out layer will erode and tarnish.
Caring for silver-plated jewelry ensures it remains beautiful and lasts longer. Here are some tips to help you maintain your silver-plated pieces:
Daily Care
-
Avoid Moisture: Keep your jewelry dry. Remove it before washing your hands, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.
-
Wear Last: Put on your jewelry after applying makeup, hairspray, and perfumes to minimize exposure to chemicals.
