Jewelry Care

At Silver Rewritten, we craft each piece of jewelry with care using high-quality recycled or reclaimed sterling silver and other sustainable materials. To ensure your jewelry remains beautiful and lasts for years to come, follow these simple care guidelines.

1. Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals

Your jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, hair products, and cleaning agents, as these can tarnish and damage your jewelry over time.

2. Remove Before Water Activities

We recommend removing your jewelry before swimming, showering, or washing hands. Moisture, especially saltwater or chlorinated water, can cause metals like bronze to oxidize more quickly, which could also lead to skin discoloration.

3. Clean with a Soft Cloth

To keep your pieces shining, gently wipe them with a soft cotton or microfiber cloth. This will help remove any oils or dirt that may accumulate over time without scratching the surface.

4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

When you’re not wearing your jewelry, store it in a cool, dry place. We recommend keeping your pieces in an airtight plastic bag or a soft jewelry pouch. This helps to avoid exposure to air, which can cause tarnishing.

5. Protect from Physical Damage

Avoid wearing your jewelry while engaging in activities that may cause it to get scratched, bent, or damaged. It's always best to take it off before sleeping, exercising, or doing manual work.

6. Keep Your Jewelry Away from Harsh Conditions

Excessive humidity, extreme heat, or prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause your jewelry to tarnish or lose its shine. Store it in a safe place, away from these harsh conditions.

7. Regular Polishing

For sterling silver, gently polish your jewelry using a silver polish cloth to maintain its shine. For gold-filled or bronze jewelry, use a soft cloth to clean, but avoid using polish to maintain their natural finish.

8. Know Your Jewelry

Each piece of Silver Rewritten jewelry is unique. Some designs may require specific care. If you're unsure about how to care for a particular item, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to provide further guidance.

By following these simple tips, your Silver Rewritten jewelry will continue to tell a beautiful, sustainable story with every wear. Thank you for supporting our mission to create meaningful, eco-friendly designs!
