Silver Care
A living metal.
Sterling silver tarnishes. This is not a flaw - it is proof of the metal's purity. With simple, consistent care, your Souq piece will grow more beautiful over time, not less.
The Silver
Silver is
meant to age.
Unlike gold, sterling silver interacts with the world around it - the air, your skin, the oils you carry. Over time it develops a patina that speaks to how it has been worn and loved. This is not tarnish to be feared. It is a record of use. A gentle polish is all it takes to restore the original shine, whenever you choose.
Four Rules
Simple habits.
Lasting silver.
Good silver care is not complicated. It comes down to four habits that take almost no effort but make a meaningful difference to how your pieces look and last.
Store dry
Keep your silver in a dry, sealed pouch or box when not wearing it. Exposure to air is the primary cause of tarnish.
Polish gently
Use a soft silver cloth in gentle circular motions. Never use abrasive materials. A little effort goes a long way.
Avoid chemicals
Remove your silver before applying perfume, sunscreen, or chlorine. These accelerate tarnish and can damage the surface.
Wear it often
The natural oils in your skin are good for silver. Pieces worn regularly often need less polishing than those kept in a drawer.
By Collection
Care by
category.
Jewellery
Worn
close to skin.
Rings, earrings, and bracelets come into contact with skin oils, perfume, and daily wear. Wipe clean with a soft cloth after each use. Store individually to prevent scratching. Polish monthly or when the shine dulls.
Baby
Food safe.
Every time.
Baby silverware should be rinsed immediately after use. Hand wash only with mild soap - never a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before storing. Silver's natural antimicrobial properties remain fully active with proper care.
Culinary
For the
table.
Culinary silver should be washed by hand and dried immediately. Acidic foods can accelerate tarnish - rinse promptly after contact. Store in anti-tarnish cloth or pouches between uses. Polish before formal occasions.
