We choose Sterling silver because of it's beauty and purity. however, please keep in mind that sterling silver is not maintenance free. 

To keep your jewelry sparkling you can use a polishing cloth, made specifically for sterling silver, on a regular basis.  For more intense cleaning, a sterling silver liquid cleaner can be used – PLEASE USE A LOT OF CAUTION when using a liquid cleaner.  In most cases the jewelry will only need to be dipped for a second or two, and then rinsed thoroughly.  Liquid cleaners for sterling silver are VERY POWERFUL.  If jewelry is left in the liquid for too long it will remove the beautiful shine and may damage the crystals.
