To keep your sterling silver necklace tangle-free, always fasten the clasp before storing, store necklaces separately or hang them individually, and put your necklace on last when getting dressed.

Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. Regular wear actually helps prevent tarnishing as the natural oils in your skin help keep the silver clean. With proper care and storage, you can significantly reduce tarnishing and keep your necklace looking bright and beautiful for years. For more detailed advice, check out our complete guide on preventing silver tarnish.

Yes, our sterling silver necklaces are hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. Sterling silver is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, creating a durable yet skin-friendly alloy. You can wear our necklaces with confidence, even if you have sensitive skin. For more detailed information, check out our hypoallergenic jewellery guide.

We recommend removing your sterling silver necklace before showering, swimming or exercising. Soaps, chlorine, salt water and sweat can speed up tarnishing and potentially damage your necklace over time. Taking it off during these activities will help maintain its beauty and extend its life.

For regular cleaning, gently polish your sterling silver necklace with a soft microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a silver polishing cloth or make a paste with baking soda and water, apply gently, rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials that could scratch the silver.

There are many chain styles for sterling silver necklaces. Cable chains have oval links and are very popular for everyday wear. Box chains feature square links for a modern look. Snake chains have a smooth, flexible design that drapes beautifully. Curb chains have interlocking links that lie flat against the skin. The chain style affects both the look and feel of your necklace.

Authentic sterling silver necklaces are marked with hallmarks like '925', 'STER', or 'Sterling'. All our necklaces include these marks. Genuine sterling silver is not magnetic, has a bright white lustre when polished, and won't leave green marks on your skin with proper care.

Store your sterling silver necklace in an airtight container or anti-tarnish pouch when not wearing it. Keep it separate from other jewellery to prevent scratches and tangles. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For extra protection, add a small silica gel packet to absorb moisture.

Pure silver (999) is too soft for everyday jewellery. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper), making it more durable while maintaining silver's beautiful shine. All our silver necklaces are crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver for the perfect balance of beauty and durability.
