Discover expert tips on sterling silver jewellery care with Bessie Bae London. Learn how to clean, store, and polish your silver jewellery to prevent tarnish and preserve its beauty. From gentle polishing techniques to proper storage, this guide ensures your 925 sterling silver bracelets, rings, and necklaces stay radiant for a lifetime.


1. Keep It Clean

After wearing, gently wipe your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, moisture and light dirt. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and warm water — never harsh chemicals or abrasives. Dry completely before storing.

2. Avoid Tarnish

Sterling silver naturally develops a soft patina over time. To slow this process, avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hairspray and cleaning products. Remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or exercising.

3. Store With Care

Keep each piece in its own anti-tarnish pouch or the free Bessie Bae packaging provided. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Separate chains and delicate pieces to prevent tangling or scratches.

4. Polish Gently

Restore brilliance with a specialist silver-polishing cloth. Rub gently in long, even strokes — never in circles. Avoid dipping solutions on gemstone or pearl jewellery.

5. Protect Gemstones & Pearls

Our semi-precious stones and pearls are natural and delicate. Avoid heat, chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. A soft, damp cloth is best for refreshing their surface.

6. Wear With Love

Jewellery gains beauty through wear but should be treated kindly. Put it on last when getting ready and take it off first at the end of the day. This simple ritual helps preserve its shine and craftsmanship.

7. Annual Refresh

Consider a professional clean or polish once a year to maintain your collection’s radiance. A jeweller can also inspect settings to ensure stones remain secure.


With a little care, your Bessie Bae jewellery will remain as meaningful and radiant as the day you received it — ready to cherish, gift, and wear for a lifetime.
