Over time, all silver jewelry darkens. Darkening can be prevented by regular cleaning and proper storage. Dark spots can be removed with a Kalevala cleaning cloth. After cleaning, we recommend washing the jewelry in mild soapy water so that the cleaning agent does not stain the clothes. Keeping the jewelry in its original packaging can also help maintain it. A Minigrip bag, for example, provides additional protection against the darkening effect of air impurities.
