How to keep your silver jewelry shiny?

When you properly care for your silver jewelry in Israel, you preserve its beauty and quality. Proper maintenance ensures that your beloved jewelry will remain sparkling and serve you for a long time.

Why does money turn black in the Israeli climate?

Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when silver comes into contact with sulfur compounds in the air. The high humidity in Israel, especially in coastal areas, can accelerate the process. Therefore, understanding the impact of the Israeli climate will help you better care for your jewelry.

The Baking Soda Method – For Removing Mild Tarnish

✔️ Line a bowl with aluminum foil.

✔️ Place the jewelry on the paper.

✔️ Sprinkle baking soda on the jewelry.

✔️ Pour boiling water until the jewelry is completely covered.

✔️ Wait a few minutes – the blackening will transfer to the aluminum foil.

✔️ Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

This method is especially recommended in areas with high humidity such as Tel Aviv and Haifa.
