🌟 The Truth About Sterling Silver Jewelry: Care, Tarnish & Longevity

Sterling silver jewelry is timeless, elegant, and perfect for celebrating meaningful bonds like mother-daughter connections, best friends, or soulmates. At Ivy Grace, many customers ask us the same important questions before making their first purchase:

• Will sterling silver tarnish?

• Is it safe for sensitive skin?

• How do I keep my jewelry looking new?

Let’s clear up these concerns so you can shop with confidence. 💎

💡 Does Sterling Silver Tarnish?

Yes, all real sterling silver can tarnish over time. This is a natural reaction when silver is exposed to oxygen and moisture. But here’s the good news—it doesn’t damage your jewelry and is easy to clean. At Ivy Grace, every piece is made with high-quality 925 sterling silver and rhodium plating, which slows down tarnishing significantly.

🤍 Is Sterling Silver Hypoallergenic?

Absolutely. Sterling silver is one of the best metals for sensitive skin because it’s naturally hypoallergenic. Our jewelry is nickel-free, meaning it’s safe for everyday wear—even if you have skin allergies or sensitivities.

✨ How to Keep Your Jewelry Shining

With just a little care, your sterling silver jewelry can last a lifetime:

• Store pieces in a dry, airtight pouch when not wearing them.

• Wipe gently with a soft polishing cloth after use.

• Avoid harsh chemicals like perfumes or cleaning agents.

Pro tip: Wearing your silver jewelry often actually prevents tarnish because the natural oils from your skin help protect the metal.
