Sterling Silver A popular, affordable white metal. Naturally soft and malleable, sterling silver is 92.5% silver, alloyed with other metals for added strength and durability. It is natural for all metals to show wear over time. Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry Store your sterling silver jewelry in tarnish prevention cloths or bags. The treated cloth slows down the tarnishing process and keeps the jewelry from rubbing against harder jewelry that might scratch it. Try to keep your sterling silver jewelry in a cool, dry place. Cleaning Sterling Silver Jewelry Polishing cloths are an excellent choice for cleaning your sterling silver jewelry. You might read recommendations to use toothpaste to clean sterling silver, but avoid doing that -- toothpaste is abrasive and can leave scratches.
