Sterling silver develops a soft tarnish over time, a natural reaction to air and moisture. A gentle polish with a soft cloth brings the shine straight back. Keep it away from perfume, moisturiser and chlorinated water, and store it somewhere dry, out of direct light.
Solid gold holds its colour far longer than silver, but a little care keeps it looking its best. Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing, avoid harsh chemicals, and store it separately so it doesn't scratch against other pieces.
