How do you clean a silver ring?
It is quite normal for your silver ring to tarnish over time, this is due to its composition in copper, a material that blackens in contact with light and air. This phenomenon causes a layer of sulfide to appear on the surface of the ring.
To remove it, use a mixture of soapy water, vinegar, lemon, baking soda or toothpaste. Scrub your engagement ring with a soft toothbrush to remove any black spots. Rinse the ring with clean water and dry it immediately with care, as silver does not tolerate moisture.
