Caring for your Mexican silver jewellery

How to look after your mexican silver jewellery

Mexican Silver Jewellery- BraceletYou have your beautiful jewellery, you love it and wear it at every opportunity. Good, so you should! Surprisingly, the oils in the skin actually help to keep tarnishing to a minimum. However, it is important to be mindful that hairspray and perfume can affect the silver, so always put your jewellery on after applying.

Unfortunately, the elements aren't kind to silver, and high quality Mexican jewellery can reflect this simply because of the higher percentage of silver content. It can lose its luster from exposure to sunshine, humidity and the open air. When you're not wearing it, it's best to keep your Mexican silver in a sealed bag, safe from outside influences. The benefit of this, and keeping your other jewellery well kept and not piled up together, is that the risk of scratches is greatly reduced.

These are just a few things to think about when thinking about your Mexican silver jewellery, but don't forget the most important thing: wear it, love it, enjoy it.
