As compared to the alloys of gold, silver is a softer metal. The negative aspect of being softer metal is that your jewellery goes out of shape easier than high karat gold jewellery. Beside this, silver also gets the scratches very easily. Tarnishing is another disadvantage of silver jewellery. But you can enjoy your jewelery for a longer time even lifetime by taking good care of your jewellery.
To avoid scratches on your jewellery you should keep these points in mind.
· Take off your silver jewellery when you think that you are doing something where your jewellery is going to be rubbed against anything. So don’t wear jewellery while washing dishes, gardening etc.
· Don’t wear two rings in a finger or alongside another ring because it will scratch and rub.
· Store you jewellery in jewellery box or the boxes having soft material on the edges and around them.
· By polishing your jewellery you can remove light scratches.
· Always use a good polish to disguise your jewellery.
· For heavy scratches you should consult a jeweler. Don’t try to remove heavy scratches by yourself.
