Silver jewelry is extremely popular and known for its elegance and affordability. However, silver tends to be a softer metal than gold so make sure to be very gentle when cleaning silver pieces. To clean your silver jewelry, you may use a silver cleaning cloth or soft cloth plus warm water and a very mild dish soap. Dip the cloth into the solution and gently rub the jewelry to remove any dirt or tarnish. Rinse your jewelry thoroughly under warm water and dry it with a soft cloth.
