Silver 925 Polishing Cloth — Gently Wipe Away Tarnish
FOR STERLING SILVER ONLY · HOW TO USE · CAUTION
A polishing cloth made for pure silver — silver 925. Just wipe gently to remove dullness and tarnish, and bring back the original shine.
A Cloth Made for Silver 925
Product
Silver 925 (sterling silver) can oxidize at the surface from contact with air, sweat and skin oils, developing dullness or darkening. This is a natural change in the material, not a quality issue. This cloth is designed to gently remove that oxide layer and restore the original shine.
How to Use
How to Use
- Lightly wipe dust and dirt off the jewelry with a dry, soft cloth
- Gently wipe the dulled areas with the polishing cloth in small circles
- Once the shine returns, finish with a dry cloth
- Use a gentle touch — don't press too hard
- For chains, pinch with the cloth and gently draw them through
- The cloth turns black with use — this is normal (use as-is, no washing needed)
This cloth is for pure silver only, such as silver 925 (sterling silver) with no plating. Use it on silver 925 necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets.
About Use on Plated Pieces
Caution
Please avoid using it on plated jewelry — 14K / 18K gold plating, rhodium plating and the like. The polishing agent wears the plating layer away faster, shortening the material's life.
SMUK jewelry comes in two kinds: "silver 925 material" and "plated pieces (gold / rhodium plating)." Check the material on the product page before use, and use this cloth on silver 925 only.
- OK to use: silver 925 (unplated) items
- Do NOT use: items with gold or rhodium plating
- For plated pieces, limit care to a light wipe with a soft cloth
A shine that lasts. SMUK's silver 925 jewelry stays beautiful for years with proper care. Keep it close, together with the polishing cloth.
