To maintain the shine of your 925 sterling silver Viking necklace for years to come, please follow these care tips: - Wear it regularly: The friction against your skin and clothing polishes the silver and slows down oxidation.
- Proper storage: When not in use, store the necklace in an airtight container (e.g., a zip-top bag or jewelry box) in a dry, dark place.
- Avoid contact with chemicals: Remove the jewelry before showering, swimming (especially in chlorinated and salt water), and exercising. Avoid direct contact with perfume, creams, or hairspray.
- Gentle cleaning: Use a soft silver polishing cloth for regular maintenance. For more stubborn tarnish, soak the necklace in a mild solution of dish soap or use the aluminum foil and salt method.
- Take care with mechanical action: Do not use hard brushes or harsh household cleaners to avoid scratches and chemical damage to the surface.
