Press Release Summary: Vogueonsale.com offers a wide collection of sterling silver
jewelry, we also give the suggestions of silver protection to our customers.

Press Release Body: Many people wonder just how to take care of their sterling
silver jewelry. When you first purchased that silver necklace, ring or broach it was
shiny and beautiful. In time silver tarnishes from the interaction of silver and
sulfides in the air.

First the tarnish will take on a golden hue, and eventually, it will turn the piece
black. This is a natural process. Higher sulfide levels are associated with humidity
and/or air pollution. Keep in mind that the more humid the climate, the faster
sterling will tarnish. On a summer day in Jackson, Mississippi, all you have to do
is walk out the door and the silver starts turning black very quickly.

(1) Sterling silver will polish up by rubbing or buffing it with a soft cotton cloth.
A chemically treated cloth, like a Sunshine Cloth, makes the job a lot easier and
faster.

(2) Sterling silver dips are fast and easy. However, be careful!
First, many dips will take the color and polish off many gemstones.
Second, when using a dip, if you leave the piece in too long, or don\'t rinse it well
enough with fresh water, white residues will be left on the piece when it dries. The
residue is difficult to rub or pick off. When using a silver dip, dip the piece
quickly in and out of the dip. Then immediately rinse it in clean water. When the
piece dries, buff it with a soft cotton cloth or a Sunshine Cloth. The buffing
brings out more of the shine, helps take off any residue left on the piece, and with
a Sunshine Cloth, leaves a little bit of a protective anti-tarnish coating on the
piece to keep it shiny longer.
A dip should only be used when a buffing with a dry cloth doesn\'t work.

(3) Tarnish Shield, or similar lacquer shield, will keep the piece of jewelry shiny
until the tarnish wears off. You should be aware that pieces that have been
lacquered don\'t age well, until all the lacquer has worn off. In spots where the
lacquer has loosened from the sterling, but not worn off, the silver will tarnish,
but you won\'t be able to buff it.

If you use a dip to clean a piece that has a tarnish shield, often the dip will get
under parts of the lacquer, leaving a residue, wherever the lacquer is beginning to
wear off. If the piece is a chain, or a filigree, the lacquer will form a film
within the openings and cracks. This obviously makes the piece ugly.

The simplest way is usually the best way. Get a clean, soft cloth and polish your
silver. It will be beautiful again!
