Care Instructions for Rhodium-Plated SV925 / SV999 Silver Jewelry
Rhodium plating is used to prevent silver from tarnishing. Compared to regular silver, it’s easier to care for. But please handle gently to avoid damaging the plating.
Basic Care (Daily to Weekly):
· Wipe gently with a soft cloth (e.g., microfiber or non-abrasive jewelry cloth)
· Wipe away skin oils and sweat
Storage After Use:
· Store in a ziplock pouch or jewelry box to minimize air exposure
· Keep in a dry, low-humidity place
When Dirt is Noticeable:
· Clean with lukewarm water and mild detergent
1. Add a few drops of neutral detergent to lukewarm water
2. Wash gently using your fingers or a soft brush (like a soft toothbrush)
3. Rinse well, dry with a soft cloth, and let air dry completely
✖ Avoid the Following:
· Polishing cloths with abrasives → may remove plating
· Liquid silver cleaners → may damage rhodium plating
· Hot springs, seawater, or chlorinated pools → may cause discoloration or damage
Storage Method
· After use, store each piece individually in a ziplock pouch or jewellery box.
This avoids oxidation from air or contact with other metals.
Regular dry wiping and avoiding moisture/sweat is key.
· With proper care, your jewellery can stay beautiful for many years
· Use non-abrasive, soft microfiber cloths for cleaning
