Here’s our guide to caring for your beloved AlterEgo silver pieces, ensuring they stay as stunning as the day you got them.

1. Regular Cleaning for Lasting Shine

What You’ll Need:

• A soft microfiber cloth
• Mild dish soap
• Warm water
• Baking soda (for tougher tarnish)
• A soft toothbrush (if needed)

Cleaning Steps:

• Daily Love: After each wear, gently wipe your jewelry with a microfiber cloth. This quick step removes skin oils and dirt, helping to prevent tarnish.
• Soak and Scrub: For a deeper clean, mix a few drops of mild soap in warm water. Let your jewelry soak for a few minutes, then use a soft cloth or toothbrush to give it a gentle scrub. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
• Tarnish Rescue: If you encounter stubborn tarnish, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it gently, then rinse and dry for a sparkling finish.

2. Storage 

How you store your jewelry can significantly impact its longevity:

• Anti-Tarnish Pouches: Store your AlterEgo jewelry in the pouch you receive with your purchase. 
• Dry and Cool: Store your silver in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture. 

3. Avoiding Harsh Chemicals

To keep your sterling silver in perfect condition, steer clear of certain substances:

• Chemicals: Watch out for harsh chemicals in cleaning products, perfumes, and beauty products. Apply these before putting on your jewelry.
• Swim: Always remove your jewelry before swimming in pools or the ocean. Chlorine and saltwater can cause damage.
• Active Lifestyle: It’s best to take off your jewelry during workouts or showers.

Every AlterEgo piece is designed not just to accessorize but to empower you. Treat your jewelry with care, and it will continue to tell your unique story beautifully for years to come.
