Silver jewelry (en-US)
Silver jewelry refers to wearable items made primarily from silver, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pendants. Common types include sterling silver (typically 92.5% silver mixed with other metals) and fine silver (often 99.9% silver). Because pure silver is softer, many pieces use sterling silver for durability. Silver jewelry can be polished for a bright shine or left with finishes like matte, oxidized (darker antique look), or plated (e.g., silver-plated over another metal).

Care and maintenance
To keep silver jewelry looking its best, store pieces in a dry, airtight pouch or anti-tarnish cloth to slow tarnishing. Clean gently with a soft polishing cloth; for deeper cleaning, use a silver-specific cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and abrasive materials. If you wear jewelry daily, removing it before swimming, showering, or applying lotions can reduce buildup and tarnish.
