🧼 How to Clean & Care for Your Silver Rings

Silver rings are timeless, elegant, and versatile — but they do need a little love to stay shiny and beautiful. Over time, silver can tarnish due to exposure to air, moisture, and everyday wear.

At TRISHHNA, we design silver rings meant to last — and with just a bit of regular care, yours can look stunning for years. Here’s everything you need to know about keeping your silver rings clean, polished, and tarnish-free.


💍 Why Does Silver Tarnish?

Pure silver is soft, so most jewelry is made from sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% alloy). This mix strengthens the metal, but it also reacts with air and moisture, leading to oxidation — aka tarnish (that dull, dark layer).

Good news: Tarnish is completely natural and totally reversible!


🧽 Everyday Silver Ring Care Tips

Keep your silver looking fresh with these simple habits:

  • Remove rings before: Swimming, cleaning, showering, or applying lotions/perfume.
  • Wipe after wear: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and dirt. 
  • Store smart: Keep rings in airtight pouches or anti-tarnish bags — not out in the open.

TRISHHNA Tip: Add a few silica gel packs (like the kind in shoe boxes) to your jewelry storage — they help absorb moisture!


🧴 How to Clean Your Silver Rings at Home

1. Gentle Soap & Water

This is best for regular upkeep.

  • Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water.
  • Soak your ring for 5–10 minutes.
  • Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub crevices.
  • Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

2. Baking Soda & Water Paste

For slightly tarnished silver:

  • Make a paste using 2 parts baking soda + 1 part water.
  • Rub gently onto the ring with a cloth or your fingers.
  • Rinse well and pat dry.

3. Silver Polishing Cloth

Use a cloth specifically made for silver — it removes tarnish without damaging the surface. Don’t wash the cloth — it’s treated with cleaners!


⚠️ What to Avoid When Cleaning Silver

Some common mistakes can damage your silver jewelry. Avoid: 

  • Toothpaste — it’s abrasive and can scratch your ring
  • Bleach or ammonia — harsh chemicals that break down silver
  • Paper towels — they can cause micro-scratches

📦 Long-Term Storage Tips

If you’re not wearing your ring for a while, follow these tips to prevent tarnish:

  • Wrap each ring in a soft cloth or anti-tarnish strip
  • Use zip-lock bags to reduce air exposure
  • Store pieces separately to avoid scratching

💡 Extra TLC for Special Pieces

For rings with stones, engraving, or custom detailing, use extra caution. Avoid soaking delicate pieces — instead, spot-clean with a soft cloth and soapy water.

When in doubt, have your ring professionally cleaned once or twice a year.
