Clean your silver jewellery with water and handsoap after each time you wear them. This will remove the sweat and dirt that has been transferred from your body and prevent the silver from tarnishing.

For silver jewellery that have turned yellow or tarnished, use a silver polishing cloth to restore it to its original gleaming status.
