Keep your sterling silver away from toiletries. Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and more can coat your silver with a sticky residue that is very difficult to remove.

Wear gloves, or take your jewelry off before working on tough tasks.

There's nothing worse than seeking a necklace, and coming out with a tangled knot of metal and gemstones!
