Dune Jewelry is meant to last a lifetime – here are some tips and tricks to keep your Sterling Silver Earrings looking like new and prevent them from turning black

Be mindful of water/ humidity

Be mindful to take your earrings off in wet or humid conditions.  Water affects sterling silver in different ways. Sweat, believe it or not, can react with sterling and certain skin types, so take your earrings off before you work out! While sea and freshwater can dull your silver, it won’t damage it the way chlorine can. The best rule of thumb – if you’re planning on getting wet, take your jewelry and earrings off.

Skincare & makeup routines are essential and putting your earrings on should be the finishing touch! Chemicals in lotions, hair products, and perfume can react with silver and dull it down. Instead of starting  your look off with earrings, start first with your beauty routine, then cap it off with our Veronica Hoops.

WEAR your sterling silver jewelry often!

The more you wear your sterling silver jewelry, the less likely it is to tarnish.  Final tip – WEAR your sterling silver often! Silver loves to be worn. With a pair of sterling silver earrings as versatile as our Double Sided Wave Hoops that task shouldn’t be hard! Sterling hates sitting in a jewelry box being ignored, so pop them in and turn some heads!

The Best Sterling Silver Cleaner

Missed a step and need your sterling jewelry to shine? We have two easy solutions for you: Our Eco-Friendly, Non-toxic foaming jewelry cleaner is the BEST way to make your jewelry shine. Just pump a bit of foam over your jewels, wait a couple of seconds, and wash off with warm water and a soft brush. The cleaner is especially helpful with detailed designs like the Endless Summer Bar Drop Earrings

Need to buff out a scratch on your jewelry? Grab a polishing cloth and rub the silver in the same direction on a clean smooth surface. The cloth works especially well on our Luxe Finish Earrings – Dune Bar, Island, Horizon, and the Luxe Marquise! Remember – you’re never fully dressed without a pair of earrings from Dune.

If you like sterling silver earrings, Dune’s collection is a must-see.
