Discover how to care for sterling silver and 18K solid gold jewelry, prevent tarnish, and understand which metals are easiest to maintain.
by Stephanie Kim ・ 03 Sep 2023 ・5 min read
Caring for your jewelry is essential, regardless of material. Whether your pieces are crafted from 18K solid gold, sterling silver, gold vermeil, or gold-plated metals, proper care preserves appearance, performance, and longevity.
At AURÉV, we exclusively use 18K solid gold and sterling silver—materials chosen for their durability, wearability, and ease of care. Here’s how to maintain your jewelry with confidence.
Everyday chemicals found in perfume, lotions, hairspray, and cosmetics can accelerate tarnishing and dull metal surfaces. Always put jewelry on last and remove it before swimming or cleaning, especially around chlorine or ammonia-based products.
Sterling silver naturally reacts with air and moisture over time. To understand why this happens and how to prevent it, read Why Sterling Silver Tarnishes & How to Prevent It.

Storage matters as much as wear. Keep jewelry in a clean, dry space, ideally in soft pouches or lined compartments to prevent scratches, tangling, and oxidation. Separating pieces reduces friction and helps preserve surface quality—especially for silver.
Regular, gentle cleaning keeps jewelry looking its best:
18K solid gold resists tarnish naturally, while sterling silver is easy to restore with light, regular care.
Jewelry Made for Daily Wear

The right materials make care simpler. By choosing solid gold or sterling silver, you’re investing in metals proven to perform well over time—with less maintenance and greater reliability.
With proper care and thoughtful material selection, your jewelry can remain beautiful for years. At AURÉV, every piece is designed to be worn daily, cared for easily, and appreciated over time.
