Care and Cleaning

Argentium Sterling Silver is alloyed with germanium, replacing some of the copper alloy in traditional sterling. This creates a silver that is more tarnish-resistant than traditional sterling silver. I find that Argentium resists tarnishing for roughly 3 times longer than traditional sterling.

Wearing your silver jewelry is the best way to deter tarnishing. The oils in your skin slow the process of oxidation. When you arenâ€™t wearing your Susan Panciera Jewelry, store in a zippered bag. When light polishing is necessary, simply rub the jewelry between your fingers to remove tarnish. For heavier cleaning, use any commercial silver polishing product. Use these cleaners sparingly and rinse well.

Professionally cleaning is available for any jewelry purchased from Susan Panciera Jewelry Studio. Contact the studio for instructions to mail/deliver your jewelry to the studio.

Some designs feature clasps or earwires that flex slightly when putting on. Take care not to bend the metal, but utilize the natural spring in the metal to put on and take off. Please use the rubber stoppers provided on earwires to prevent loss, particularly when wearing scarves.
