It's a common misconception that silver jewellery only requires professional cleaning. However, cleaning your silver jewellery is also a matter of daily care. Here are our artisan jeweller Una Storia's tips for maintaining and cleaning your silver jewellery. Discover how to maintain its shine for a long time.
Our artisan jeweller reveals his tips for cleaning your silver jewellery
Like any metal, silver is sensitive to the phenomenon of oxidation, especially if your silver jewellery is not protected by a layer of rhodium (prevents the silver jewellery from oxidizing and blackening your skin). This is a natural wear and tear, which occurs through contact of silver with the skin, but also water and oxygen in the air. If oxidation is inevitable, it is possible to limit it by discovering how to clean your silver jewellery . If you have chosen jewellery in rhodium-plated 925/1000 silver or solid silver, such as those offered by our French creative house Una Storia, like its collection of original silver earrings, these will be durably protected from blackening thanks to the layer of rhodium that covers them.
To limit the oxidation of your silver jewellery, be sure to adopt the right daily habits to clean your silver jewellery:
- Remove your silver jewellery before washing your hands.
- Also, don't go to the beach with your zirconium drop earrings , which are sensitive to sea water and sand.
- Also remove your silver rings and bracelets when doing household chores to avoid contact with cleaning products. Also, keep your silver jewellery away from cosmetics: lotions and creams, colognes, and perfumes can all be harmful to silver jewellery.
- Rub your jewellery with a soft, clean cloth (microfiber type).
- Finally, we advise you to remove your jewellery in the evening and store it in its case until the next day.
Since the new Arizona 925 silver jewellery set for women is made of rhodium-plated silver, it is absolutely essential to avoid cleaning with baking soda or white vinegar. Simply rub your jewellery with a soft cloth to make it shine and delay oxidation. Whatever the method, avoid at all costs stripping products like soda, which corrode silver, even rhodium-plated silver. If your silver jewellery comes into contact with such a product, rub it immediately with a clean, soft cloth.

Why avoid rhodium-plated silver underwater?
At Una Storia, all our 925 silver jewellery is rhodium-plated. Rhodium plating protects our silver jewellery against oxidation, ensuring shine and durability. However, water, especially chlorinated or salty water, alters the properties of silver and compromises the quality of solid silver jewellery. By limiting contact with water, you preserve the splendor of your Una Storia jewellery so you can enjoy it for years to come.
At Una Storia, our commitment to quality is reflected in every piece of silver jewellery we create. By caring for your rhodium-plated silver jewellery and following simple precautions, you ensure the timeless beauty of this high-end piece of jewellery will last over time.
When you cherish a piece of Una Storia jewellery and want to preserve it, the question of keeping your rhodium-plated silver jewellery underwater is natural. To dispel any doubts about the best practices to adopt with our rhodium-plated 925 silver jewellery, we bring you our recommendations.
To maintain the dazzling shine of your Una Storia colored silver jewellery, such as the original Bahia women's silver ring , you should get into the habit of removing it before washing your hands, showering, or bathing. This simple gesture will extend the life of your precious Una Storia ring. Frequent contact with water alters the shine of silver, which gradually tarnishes.
Whether you immerse your rhodium-plated silver jewellery in salty sea water or in a chlorinated pool, it is recommended that you remove your Una Storia jewellery beforehand. Salt, chlorine, and even bleach can damage the shine of your precious jewellery sets, whether they are earrings, necklaces, rings, or women's silver bracelets . In addition, avoid vigorously rubbing your jewellery underwater, as this could damage the rhodium coating and compromise its appearance.
Despite your precautions, if your rhodium-plated silver jewellery ever gets submerged in water , don't panic! Simply dry it thoroughly and, if necessary, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth. While the blackening can be unsightly, it's generally reversible with a few simple steps.
