Care and Cleaning of your Sterling Silver Jewelry: For daily cleaning it is recommended to use a simple jewelry polishing cloth that is impregnated with special jewelry cleaner. These are widely available and are very easy to use. Store your cloth in a plastic zip-lock bag, and keeping your jewelry drawer or armoire. It is a good idea to have one cleaning cloth for gold and one for silver. For a slightly more "in-depth" cleaning you may want to use a liquid jewelry cleaner. For cleaning badly tarnished silver, here's a neat little trick:
Silver has been used since ancient times, but has not survived as well as ancient gold because it tarnished and decomposes. There have been times, however, when silver was "in"; we are going through such a vogue today.
Silver jewelry is less expensive than gold jewelry but it still offers a very attractive option. Many people prefer the color of silver to the color of gold. It is also more suitable with some colors and styles of clothing. Silver is very popular for the settings of natural gems like turquoise. It is more complementary to the stone and does not distract from its beauty. The one main disadvantage that silver may seen to have when used in jewelry is that it tarnishes. It needs regular polishing to help maintain its finish. It will become dark with age if it is not polished.

Another reason silver jewelry is so popular is the variety of options one has when shopping. Every piece of jewelry whether it's a necklace, a ring, a bracelet, an anklet, whatever - everything comes in a silver version. The variety in combination with the price tag gives jewelry shoppers a world of choices for not a lot of money.
