Sterling Silver Care Sterling silver can tarnish if worn during exercise or in the pool or shower. You can remove tarnish by cleaning your sterling silver jewelry with a jewelry cleaner designed for silver use. (If you do use silver cleaner, make sure you keep it away from any gems set in the silver.) Store silver in a cool, dry place, preferably in a tarnish-preventive bag or wrapped in a soft piece of felt or cloth. Make sure your silver is not exposed to air and light during storage, this can cause silver to tarnish. Do not wear sterling silver in chlorinated water or when working with household chemicals.
